A conveyor system conveys devices for receiving components to be welded together, especially for internal combustion engine exhaust systems, into and out of a welding cell. The conveyor system includes a conveying vehicle () with a chassis () that can travel on a subfloor via rollers (). A superstructure () is carried vertically adjustably on the chassis (). At least one device carrier () receives components to be welded together in a position intended for the welding together in relation to one another. A positioning/holding formation () is provided on the superstructure () and a counter-positioning/holding formation () that meshes or can be caused mesh with the positioning/holding formation () is provided on the device carrier () for presetting a conveying position of the device carrier () on the superstructure ().

Conveyor system

A quick-change coupling (), for coupling a device carrier () to a carrier unit () of a welding cell (), especially for welding together components for internal combustion engine exhaust systems, includes a first coupling unit () to be fixed to a carrier unit () and a second coupling unit () to be fixed to the device carrier (). One of the coupling units () has a pushing meshing recess () and the other of the coupling units () has a pushing meshing body () that can be inserted into the pushing meshing recess () in a direction of pushing (R). A positive-locking positioning device () is adjustable between a released state and a positive-locking positioning state. With the pushing meshing body positioned meshing with the pushing meshing recess, the positive-locking positioning device in the positive-locking positioning state holds the pushing meshing body in an operating position.
