Conveyor Terms - The Words That Turn The Wheels
Words are some of the most beautiful gifts of creation
. They allow us to communicate and express ourselves in a highly identifiable medium. Although sometimes misunderstood, not easily translated or harsh, without words there is little doubt the world would be less colorful. We can utilize words to define things, to capture concepts and to come together. Words build languages and languages build life. Some characteristics of life are easily described while others take more education or imagination. Words can go as far as saving lives in the physical or healing us emotionally.
Interaction between man and machine is made possible through words. One environment where words are critical is conveyor based production workplaces. A conveyor system is complicated and demands a great deal of attention to keep it functioning properly. The industry uses many standard and technical terms that make conveyor operations easier to understand. Once we learn what some of these words and terms are, their meanings and how they are used, our actions and transactions will be handled more gracefully.
The basic terms must be learned first to build a path to advanced knowledge. Guard is a word that is much used in conveyor related speech. Machinery guards are critical to safety. There are several types of guards and their related parts, like guard rails, chain guards, nip-point guards, so it behooves you to form a solid comprehension of all the existing guard terminology. Another commonly used word in the industry is belt. Not the belt that acts like suspenders to hold up your pants, but a conveyor piece with many contexts. There are belt fasteners, belt modulus, belt sags, belt slips, belt speed, belt scrapers, belt turnover, belt training idlers and belt clamps, all used in relation to conveyors.
Learning about belts is almost a must when dealing with any type of system and it is a huge plus to understand how this word incorporates itself into the world of conveyors. Other standard words you may hear when designing or running a conveyor are anchor bolt, angle, track, wheel, roller, pulley, shuttle incline and curve. Even though these appear to be very basic words that we use in our everyday life, a key is to find out how they relate to conveyors. By learning how all these words are integrated into the industry specific language, we not only increase our knowledge base but prepare ourselves to be ready for a higher level of learning.
A diligent study of the language will reveal highly specialized words and combinations thereof that are rare to find outside the conveyor industry. Take the term knurl thumb adjacent nut for example, sure to baffle anyone as they begin their studies. As we continue our learning we find that this particular nut is a tool on an accumulating conveyor to adjust pressure, and we have added to our lexicon of knowledge. You may run into the words air-float chain conveyor one day. You know that this is a chain and roller based system that uses inflatable air hoses and you have gained an edge that will help you when dealing with experts in the field.
When walking around a factory, or in a board meeting discussing conveyors, hearing the term clevis pin attachment might confuse the average employee. However internalizing that this is a type of clip used within trolley chain systems that aids in holding light loads can elevate us to an impressive level of intelligence and understanding. Other intense words may include skirt board, rheometer, Eytelwein's equation, carcass, plastisol coating, Dutchman and cleat. Regardless of what words you know or do not know it is vitally important if you are involved with conveyors to continue to research about the communication used in the industry.
Many words are utilized with regard to conveyor systems and it is not possible to keep on top of every one of them. The words and terms such as rail width, chute, clipper facing, dynamometer, hysteresis, loss and Young's modulus will never fade away. Just because we are unable to know it all, it is still valuable to review and understand as much as you possibly can. Words, terminology and communication are fascinating topics that should be part of the lives of those working in fields relevant to the language, and every field has its own language. The field of conveyors and its specific language is one area where understanding the words and terminology is very important.
