Device for transporting items, especially workpieces, has workpiece carriers transported by friction drive in linear conveyor regions and by shape-locking rive in at least one non-linear region

摘要

The device has at least one endless closed conveyor belt in which rails on wheels join workpiece carriers into a train and circulate with or without workpieces. Stop elements at several points can stop and release the carriers or carrier trains. The carriers are transported by a friction drive in linear regions and by a shape-locking rive in at least one non-linear region.
