Cart-On-Track Conveyors has a track on it. A cart can be driven on the track, so it is called cart-on-track conveyor. It is used to transport carts along the track. These carts are transported by rotating a tube. There is drive wheel connected to each cart that rests on the tube and that is used to vary the speed of the cart . These carts are independently controlled by these tubes. Because they are independently-controlled, multiple carts can be located on the tube. These carts can accumulate on the tube and remain stationary when drive wheel is parallel to the tube. Here accumulation is achieved by maintaining the drive wheel parallel to the tube. Cart-on-track conveyors are used to pull a cart along a track. Basic components include a rotating tube, track, and cart. The rotating tube, which is similar to a screw, transports the cart.
