ABSTRACT:
An improved cam-actuated drive apparatus is disclosed for use with walking beam transfer devices. The improved drive apparatus includes a sngle drive unit having two cams keyed to a common drive shaft and with an output dial mounting member providing both rotary and lifting motions, a lift carriage assembly operatively raised and lowered by the output dial mounting member to which the lift carriage assembly is rotatably mounted by a bearing member, a horizontal slide carriage assembly which is supported on the lift carriage assembly for sliding movement relative thereto, and a crank arm mounted to an extended hub of the output dial mounting member and rotatably connected to the horizontal slide carriage assembly, which arm translates rotational motion of the output dial mounting member into linear sliding motion of the horizontal slide carriage assembly relative to the lift carriage assembly.
