An apparatus for controlling the temperature of workpieces, in particular of vehicle bodies, has a temperature-control tunnel, a traction chamber and an intermediate floor which is arranged between the temperature-control tunnel and the traction chamber and which has a connection passage. The apparatus includes a conveying device for conveying the workpieces in the temperature-control tunnel, wherein the conveying device has at least one conveying carriage with a running gear and has a workpiece carrier for holding the workpieces of which the temperature is to be controlled. The running gear is arranged in the traction chamber and is connected by a connecting device, which projects through the connection passage of the intermediate floor, to the workpiece carrier arranged in the temperature-control tunnel. To control the temperature of the traction chamber and thus adequately protect the running gear against heat or cold, the intermediate floor is equipped at least in regions with an active cooling and/or heating means.

Apparatus and method for controlling the temperature of workpieces

A method for producing vehicles, wherein vehicle bodies are conveyed through multiple system zones of a production system in order to produce vehicles. Different types of work are carried out on the vehicle bodies in two respective system zones which follow each other. The vehicle bodies are conveyed through the system zones of the surface treatment system at least from a corrosion protection treatment to a final assembly using a single conveyor system in a surface treatment system for treating the surface of the vehicle bodies. A surface treatment system is provided for treating the surface of vehicle bodies, having multiple system zones, and the vehicle bodies are treated in a different manner in two respective system zones which follow each other. The surface treatment system is designed such that the vehicle bodies can be conveyed through the system zones of the system using a single conveyor system. A production system for producing vehicles using a surface treatment system is also provided, which is arranged between a corrosion protection system and a final assembly system, the production system including such a surface treatment system.

Method and production system for producing vehicles, and surface treatment system for treating the surface of vehicle bodies

A treatment plant for treating workpieces having a treatment installation having a housing which defines a treatment space and a conveyor system having a multiplicity of transport trucks for conveying workpieces through the treatment space. Each transport truck has a running gear and a fastening installation for at least one workpiece, the running gear and the fastening installation being coupled to one another by a connection installation. A running space for the running gear is present outside the treatment space, the running space connected to the treatment space by a connection passage in the upward direction so that the running gear is capable of being moved in the running space, wherein the fastening installation is conjointly carried in the treatment space and the connection installation extends through the connection passage. A cover installation having at least one walk-on cover element is present in the treatment space, the cover element being capable of being moved between a walk-on position in which the cover element covers the connection passage and a release position in which the cover element can be passed by the connection installation of one of the transport trucks.
