TRANSPORT AND LOADING AND UNLOADING SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY FOR USING IN CAR BODY MANUFACTURE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING AND LOADING AND UNLOADING COMPONENTS

摘要

The invention relates to a transport and loading and unloading system using driverless accumulating conveyors (1) with their own motor-driven drive, which travel to the individual loading and unloading sites, either by guiding systems, by remote control or by programming, where they collaborate with robots and/or other conveyors. The driverless accumulating conveyor has flexible intermediate links that are either passive, i.e. they do not have their own motor-driven drive, or they are motor-driven. The invention also relates to an advantageous method for transporting and loading and unloading components in car body manufacture in the automotive industry.
