Roller Conveyor

To design the Roller Conveyor concepts were created, with the best ranked concept designed on SolidWorks and manufactured in the workshop

Final CAD Assembly

The assembly was created on SolidWorks using a combination of newly designed parts and existing parts

Newly designed parts include the bearing supports and plate for the motor

Future Development Plan

These CAD models show potential modifications which could be made to allow a pallet to remain stationary while other pallets are still moving

The first concept powers different sections of the conveyor using different motors, allowing part of the conveyor to be running while another part is stationary

The second concept is a simpler solution where plates can be slotted into the L profiles to prevent further movement, effectively holding a pallet at a certain point
