Patent ID: 8752695

Claim:
A shaker conveyor assembly comprising: a housing, a drive system supported by said housing and at least one transport tray supported by said housing and operatively connected to said drive system; said drive system including an electric motor that produces a rotary output, a cam assembly operatively connected in driven relationship to said rotary output of said electric motor so as to rotate therewith, and a cam follower assembly operatively connected to said transport tray and adjustably positioned relative to said cam assembly so as to be movable toward and away from said cam assembly to facilitate constant contact between said cam assembly and said cam follower assembly at initial set up of said cam assembly to compensate for tolerance stack up during manufacturing of the shaker conveyor as well as wear during subsequent operation of the shaker conveyor assembly so that said cam follower assembly's response to the rotation of said cam assembly may be maximized to produce repeated, reciprocating linear motion and to transmit this motion to said transport tray so as to convey items therealong.
