A conveying device for moving a carrying plate includes a pulling mechanism in the form of a belt. To pull the carrying plate, the belt is contacted against the carrying plate via a magnetic force of at least one permanent magnet. The carrying plate is then entrained by the belt as a result of static friction or sliding friction.

Conveying device

A processing station for a processing line, having a module platform () and a plurality of withdrawable modules () that can be introduced into it has a transporting device () for transporting workpieces () to be processed at the processing station (). According to the invention, the transporting device () includes a plurality of part-transporting devices (), and one part-transporting device () is associated with each withdrawable module () and is solidly connected to the withdrawable module (). Moreover, at least some of the part-transporting devicesinclude a first transportation path (), which is embodied for transporting a workpiece () essentially over the width of the withdrawable module () in a first transporting direction (T).

A conveyor system includes a conveyor track and at least one workpiece carrier that includes a first control curve and a second control curve, and a first control curve tracker and a second control curve tracker that are assigned to the conveyor track. The first control curve tracker is arranged in a first control engagement with the first control curve, and the second control curve tracker is arranged in a second control engagement with the second control curve. The control curves and associated control curve trackers are arranged so that the at least one workpiece carrier can be deflected laterally off of a subsection of the conveyor track via the interaction of the first control engagement and the second control engagement.

Conveyor system

A transporting system includes a conveyor; a workpiece carrier adapted to be advanced by the conveyor; and a monitoring apparatus for monitoring a presence or absence of the workpiece carrier in a predetermined zone of the conveyor. The monitoring apparatus has a switching element supported adjacent the conveyor and projecting at least partially into a path of the conveyor; and an arrangement for actuating the switching element independently of a direction of conveyance of the workpiece carrier.
