In summary, the conversation discussed the use of conveyors in product line automation systems and the various mechanics mechanisms used in these systems. Specifically, there was interest in learning about the "span" roller and roller drive systems, as well as other types of conveyor mechanics. Relevant links were requested for further information, including information on conveyor types, introduction to conveyors, types of conveyor belts, span roller drive systems, automation conveyor system components, and a guide to conveyor rollers.

I am interesting to know about the mechanics mechanisms that use the conveyors in products lines automations systems.
I am interesting to know more about "span" roller (I am not sure that I wrote "span" correct, I think that this mechanics mechanism have a wheel that stretched) and about roller drive systems, and about others mechanics mechanisms for conveyors and I am interesting to know the different between these different kinds of mechanics mechanisms for conveyors.
I will glad to receive some relevant links.​

1. What is the purpose of a conveyor mechanism?

A conveyor mechanism is used to transport materials or objects from one location to another in a continuous motion. It is commonly used in manufacturing, packaging, and transportation industries to increase efficiency and productivity.

2. How does a conveyor mechanism work?

A conveyor mechanism typically consists of a motor, pulleys, and a belt or chain. The motor provides the power to rotate the pulleys, which in turn move the belt or chain. The objects placed on the belt or chain are carried along as the belt moves, allowing for smooth and continuous transportation.

3. What are the different types of conveyor mechanisms?

There are several types of conveyor mechanisms, including belt conveyors, roller conveyors, chain conveyors, and screw conveyors. Each type has its own unique features and advantages, and the choice of mechanism depends on the specific needs of the application.

4. What are the benefits of using a conveyor mechanism?

Conveyor mechanisms offer numerous benefits, including increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, and improved safety. They also allow for continuous transportation of materials, which can help to streamline production processes and increase overall productivity.

5. How can conveyor mechanisms be maintained and repaired?

To ensure the smooth and efficient functioning of conveyor mechanisms, regular maintenance and repairs are necessary. This includes routine inspections, lubrication of moving parts, and timely replacement of worn or damaged components. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and seek professional assistance for any major repairs or replacements.
