Abstract
Stop device ( 1 ) for a conveyor system ( 40 ) where objects ( 43 ) are conveyed on a conveyor ( 41 ), where the stop device ( 1 ) comprises a housing ( 2 ), an actuator element ( 3 ) having a stop surface ( 12 ), and an electric motor ( 4 ) operably connected to the actuator element ( 3 ) such that the electric motor ( 4 ) can control the position of the actuator element ( 3 ), where the stop device comprises a stop position ( 20 ) in which the stop device ( 1 ) will hold an object ( 43 ) in a fixed position by the stop surface ( 12 ), and a bypass position ( 22 ) in which the stop surface ( 12 ) is positioned outside of a contact plane ( 42; 96 ) of the object ( 43 ) such that the object ( 43 ) can pass the stop device ( 1 ), where the actuator element ( 3 ) is provided with a braking surface ( 13 ), where the stop device ( 1 ) comprises a braking position ( 21 ) in which the braking surface ( 13 ) is positioned in the contact plane ( 42; 96 ) such that the object ( 43 ) will bear against the braking surface ( 13 ) and such that the speed of an object ( 43 ) will slow down from a first speed to a standstill, and where the electric motor ( 4 ) can move the actuator element ( 3 ) between the stop position ( 20 ), the braking position ( 21 ) and the bypass position ( 22 ). The advantage of the invention is that a reliable and cost-effective stop device comprising a brake function for an object such as a product or a pallet conveyed in a conveyor system is provided. The application also includes a conveyor system comprising a stop device.
