A conveyor device for an automated production line, including at least one conveyor track along a course of the production line, at least one component carrier carriage for transporting components or component assemblies on the production line, wherein the production line includes transfer portions and workstations that are run through by the conveyor track along the course of the production line. The conveyor track is configured as a monorail which extends along a central longitudinal axis of the component carrier carriage. The conveyor track includes a plurality of rollers which are driven at least in part by means of drives and the component carrier carriage includes at least one friction surface, by means of which the component carrier carriage is drivable by the rollers of the conveyor track, in particular is movable dynamically along the conveyor track.

Conveyor device for an automated production line, component carrier carriage for a conveyor device, and method for operating a conveyor device

The invention relates to a conveying device for the transport of components or component groups from and to one or more workstations, the conveying device comprising a conveying track and a component carrier truck moved on the conveying track, and there being provided in the region of the workstations, on the conveying track, positioning devices which cooperate with positioning devices on the component carrier truck in such a way that a desired position of the component carrier truck in the workstation is assumed in all three space directions (X, Y, Z) directly as a result of the travel-in movement of the component carrier truck into the workstation, characterized in that, during the entire travel-in movement of the component carrier truck into the workstation, each positioning device on the component carrier truck comes into contact with only its positioning device, determining the desired position, on the conveying track.
