RAPID TRANSIT CONVEYOR (RTC) MODULE
OVERVIEW
Chapter Issue 2 Oct 06 Technical Reference Manual 18.3
The rapid transit conveyor (RTC) is a programmable width conveyor system
which sets the rail width and transports boards through the machine using belts
and vanes. The system can accommodate up to three boards in the machine
at one time, thereby reducing the machine cycle time.
The RTC system consists of three sections:
• Inroad Conveyor
• Print Station
• Outroad Conveyor
Using belts, Board 1 is transported to the end of the inroad conveyor where the
board is stopped by the board stop vane.
The inroad vane is raised and the vane stepper motor drives the inroad vane to
snug the board.
The transport mechanism moves the vanes placing the board in the centre of
the print station.
