Mechanism Info.
■Feed finger structural diagram
Key | Name | Qty. |
① | Claw | 1 |
② | Spring | 1 |
③ | Body | 1 |
It has a pivoted claw. When a pallet passes over the top, the claw returns by a spring, preventing reverse traveling of the pallet.

IDEA NOTE Prevent pallet looseness.
By using a feed finger with a round claw, the feed finger and pallet can be placed closer with each other, minimizing play.
