Abstract
A conveyor system has a pair of elongated rails that support a pair of conveyors. A lifting mechanism is mounted to the rails for lifting the conveyor itself, or for lifting the circuit board at its edges near the conveyor. A stripping bar is provided in the rails for lifting stop tabs. The stripping bar and the lifting plates are moved by a cylinder that drives a camming plate along a direction of travel, while this motion is translated into motion transverse to the direction of travel.
