ABSTRACT:
A veneer stacker with a controlled overhead conveyor to maintain the leading edge of successive veneer sheets in a common orientation and normal to the travel direction of the conveyor. The overhead conveyor has paired members, e.g., conveyor belts that engage the side edges of the veneer sheet to propel the sheet. One member of each pair is arranged to dominate and the dominant members cooperatively control the movement of the sheet. The sheets are assured of a normal orientation using separate drive motors for each dominant member and electronically coupling the drive motors.
