ABSTRACT:
A workpiece feeding and conveying system is disclosed which is comprised of a plurality of stationary workpiece supply stations radially spaced from and circumferentially spaced apart relative to a central axis. A plurality of pocketed workpiece transfer plates are supported radially outwardly of the feed stations for rotation about the central axis and about corresponding axes of rotation, and an annular carrier ring radially outward surrounds the transfer plates and is rotatable about the central axis relative to the supply stations and transfer plates. The transfer plates have radially outwardly opening pockets, and the carrier ring has radially inwardly opening pockets, and a planetary gear arrangement is provided for rotating the transfer plates about their axes of rotation and about the central axis in response to rotation of the carrier ring. During such rotation the pockets of the transfer plates pick up workpieces from the supply stations and accelerate the workpieces to a velocity corresponding to that of the carrier ring for deposit of the workpieces in the pockets thereof.
