A gravity conveyor(20) includes one or more zones(1,2,3,4) with each zone having at least one brake(30) associated therewith. A controller turns the brakes(30) on for each zone according to various programmable conditions. The downstream-most zone may have its brakes turned on whenever a package(26) is present at the end(24) of the conveyor. Any of the zones(1,2,3,4) may have their brakes turned on in a pulsed manner. The zones may also have their brakes(30) turned on in other situations, such as simultaneous blockage of that zone with another zone, the initial sensing of the leading edge of an article, as well as in other situations.
L'invention concerne un transporteur par gravité (20) comprenant une ou plusieurs zones (1, 2, 3, 4), chaque zone étant munie d'au moins un frein (30). Une commande sert à actionner les freins (30) de chaque zone en fonction de différentes conditions programmables. Les freins de la zone la plus en aval peuvent fonctionner chaque fois qu'un colis (26) se trouve à l'extrémité (24) du transporteur. Les freins de n'importe quelle zone (1, 2, 3, 4) peuvent fonctionner de manière pulsée. Les freins (30) des zones peuvent fonctionner dans d'autres situations, telles que le blocage simultané d'une zone avec une autre zone, la détection initiale du bord d'attaque d'un article, et dans d'autres situations encore.
