The invention relates to an interlinking system for overhead transfer devices having at least two portals for the transport of workpieces or of workpieces on pallets between machines and/or supply/removal devices and vice versa. Each of the portals is in this respect equipped with at least one loading unit and the two portals are equipped with a transfer module for conveying the workpieces or the workpieces on pallets between a first and a second portal which is in turn equipped with a transport device for the reception of one or more workpieces or workpiece pallets.

Interlinking system for overhead transfer devices

The present disclosure relates to a workpiece carrier for a workpiece conveying device for the transportation of workpieces, especially for heavy workpieces, having a conveyor chain for conveying the workpiece carriers by transmitting friction forces and having a guide track for guiding and supporting the conveyor chain and the workpiece carriers. The conveyor chain runs in a U-shaped guide track, wherein support surfaces extend next to the U-shaped guide track and the workpiece carriers are supported with guide rollers on said support surfaces. The workpiece carriers are equipped with a front and a rear carriage which are provided with an entrainer for engagement into the U-shaped cut-out, and wherein the entrainers are designed via a foot part with an adjustable contact force to overcome the sliding friction, with a display serving the visualization of the set contact force in accordance with the present disclosure.

Workpiece carrier

The present invention relates to a loading station comprising a loading region which is accessible from a loading side and from a machine side and comprising two door elements movable along a guide from a machine position in which they release the machine side and close the loading side into a loading position in which they release the loading side and close the machine side, wherein the door elements overlap at least partially in the loading position and/or in the machine position so that, on an opening procedure of the machine side and/or of the loading side, the machine side and/or the loading side only starts to open when the respective other side has closed at least partially.
