Claim 0:
1. A joint system for managing alignment tolerances in a track section of a conveyor, the system comprising:
a plurality of track sections, each track section comprising at least one end to be joined with an adjacent track section and one or more rails comprising a running surface on which bearings of moving elements move; and
wherein, at the end of each track section, the one or more rails each comprise at least one finger such that rails from adjacent track sections form an interlaced connection between fingers from each track section and the fingers comprise an angled portion angled inward relative to the running surface at a predetermined angle and configured such that the bearings transition from one track section to another on the angled portion of the fingers and a non-alignment of the rails within a predetermined alignment tolerance will not jar a bearing moving over the joint.
