Tray Transport

Assembly

Mechanism that indexes the 80-slide circular tray one position per cycle, drops the next slide into the gate by gravity, and lifts it back before the tray turns. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.

Tray Transport parts diagram. Numbers match the table below; each box is one top-level part or assembly with what it contains.
#PartQtyWhat it does
1 Rotary Slide Tray 1× Removable 80-compartment carousel with a locking ring that keeps slides captive when the tray is carried.
2 Slide Lifter Arm 1× Cam-driven arm that raises the projected slide out of the gate and back into its tray slot before indexing.
3 Lifter Cam 1× Single-revolution cam that sequences lift, tray index, and drop in one motor cycle of about one second.
4 Tray Detent Pawl 1× Spring pawl that registers the tray on each index so the next slide aligns exactly over the drop slot.
5 Servo Motor 4 parts 1× Tray index motor
6 Helical Gear Pair 1× Index gearing
