2.7 Carriages
2.7.1 Carriage
Assembly
Notes
2.7.1.1
All carriages except the cross conveyor "drive"
carriage are installed inside the room. The cross drive
carriage is different from floor drive carriages, because the
cross drive cylinder is mounted on top of the carriage
rather than within the carriage, inside the cylinder
compartment as with the floor drive.
2.7.1.2
Complete one entire conveyor section of carriages
before starting the next. Doing so will train the assembler,
and identify any procedural problems.
2.7.1.3
Floor carriages must be laid in the tracks with the
vane guides sloping toward the cross conveyor as shown
in Figure 15. Vane guides on cross conveyor tracks slope
toward the elevator as shown in Figure 20.
2.7.2
Floor Carriage Assembly
Refer to Floor Drive and Floor Extension
Drawings
2.7.2.1
Lay the carriages inside the corresponding size
track. For example, a 30-inch carriage lays in a 30-inch
extension. The drive carriage, identified by the cylinder
compartment (frame weldment in the back), lays in the
drive track.
2.7.2.2
Make sure all the carriages lay flat on the floor. If
any are bent, they must be straightened.
2.7.2.3
Install only the front vane on each carriage section
as shown in Figure 14. If the front vane is not put in before
the carriages are spliced together, it will be necessary to
remove some of the splice bolts to install them. The vane
slides in from the back and rests on the guide.
2.7.2.4
Bolt both sides of the floor carriages together
using splice brackets and 3/8" fasteners as shown in
Figure 15. Splice brackets mount on the outside of the
carriages.
2.7.2.5
Use 1/4" fasteners to bolt the roller plate onto the
carriage over each roller as shown in Figure 16. The edge
of the roller plate should extend over the roller.
2.7.2.6
When all roller plates are installed and the
fasteners are tight, the carriage should be off the floor, and
should slide freely. If it does not, determine the reason,
and correct it.
2.7.2.7
Install the remainder of the vanes. The vanes
slide in from the back and rest on the sloping guides.

2.7.2.8
After all the vanes are installed, check movement
of the carriages by sliding them forward and backward.
Make sure they move freely, rest flat on the rollers, and
that none of the vanes bind or drag.
