A buffer/brake system is provided for carriers used in an automated assembly system. The rear ends of the carriers are equipped with a flexible ring that is compressed when the queued carrier is struck by an oncoming carrier. Compression of the flexible ring engages the sidewalls of the track support that accommodates the conveyor and the frictional engagement of the ring against the sidewalls of the track support act as a brake for the queued carrier. The ring also acts to absorb the shock resulting from the collision between the queued carrier and the oncoming carrier. The buffer/brake system is fully incorporated in and fixedly attached to the carrier and is not placed on the conveyor separately.
Système heurtoir/frein pour chariots utilisé dans un système d'assemblage automatisé. Les extrémités arrière des chariots sont équipées d'une bague flexible qui est comprimée lorsqu'un chariot en attente est heurté par un autre chariot. La compression de la bague flexible a pour effet de faire prise sur les parois latérales du support de rail qui reçoit le convoyeur et la prise par friction exercée par la bague sur les parois latérales du support de rail agit comme frein du chariot en attente. La bague sert aussi à amortir le choc résultant de la collision entre le chariot en attente et le chariot arrivant. Le système de heurtoir/frein est entièrement intégré au chariot auquel il est fixé et il n'est pas placé séparément sur le convoyeur.
