This kind of transfer system is used for piece handling on production lines made of one or more working stations in series.
It is particularly suitable whenever it is possible to transfer the pieces from a working station to the next one by a simple translation, without using other mechanical hands to place the piece on the machine.
The "pilgrim process" conveyor is mostly suitable to handle axially symmetrical parts, whenever the axial length is greater than the diameter.
The pieces are placed on the conveyor at the same distance, on V-shaped supports. The conveyor mechanical system, driven usually by pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, transfers all the pieces at the same time with a fixed pitch, at fixed time intervals set by the slowest working station on the line.
