When the pair of brackets 129 and the plurality of rollers 122 are viewed as a group, the corresponding group may consist of a plurality, and the plurality of groups may be provided at intervals on the main frame 120 body .

According to the present invention, in the sensor module-based roller conveyor system according to an embodiment of the present invention, both ends of the rollers 122 provided on the main frame 120 are covered by the cover frame 130, which is an obstacle to the movement of workers. There is no, and there is an effect that it is easy to change the installation and arrangement structure. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs will understand that the present invention is the technical idea. However, it will be understood that it may be embodied in other specific forms without changing its essential features. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
