Abstract
A conveyor includes two fences located on two sides of a platform. A fence-adjusting apparatus includes a primary driving unit, a secondary driving unit and a transmission. The primary driving unit includes two primary movable elements, two primary tracks and a primary driving element. Each primary movable element is connected to a corresponding one of the fences. The primary tracks movably support the primary movable elements. The primary driving element is operable to move the primary movable elements along the primary tracks. The secondary driving unit includes two secondary movable elements, two secondary tracks and a secondary driving element. Each secondary movable element is connected to a corresponding one of the fences. The secondary tracks movably support the secondary movable elements. The secondary driving element is operable to move the secondary movable elements along the secondary tracks. The transmission operatively connects the primary driving unit to the secondary driving unit.
