ABSTRACT:
A shuttle transfer assembly is provided for transferring parts between at least two conveyor lines. The shuttle assembly includes a base and a transfer table which is mounted to the base via a carriage assembly. A conveyor section is in turn mounted to the transfer table. The transfer table under program control is both rotated about a vertical axis and linearly displaced by the carriage assembly so that the conveyor section on the transfer table is aligned with a first selected conveyor line. A loader assembly on the transfer table selectively moves a number of parts from the first conveyor line onto the conveyor section. The transfer table is then moved so that its conveyor section is aligned with a second conveyor line. A unloader assembly then pushes the parts on the conveyor section from the transfer table and onto the second conveyor line.
