Abstract
A workpiece carrier for transporting a workpiece or a product in a conveyer system having at least one workpiece base provided for accommodating at least one workpiece, the workpiece base including a receiving surface on which a workpiece is mountable and the workpiece base further including a base surface disposed in a distance from the receiving surface. The workpiece carrier further has at least one contact element which, in the operation of the workpiece carrier, is provided to rest on a conveyer element of a conveyer system including a contact surface, the contact element being connected to the base surface of the workpiece base, a first moving direction along which the workpiece carrier is movable in a conveyer system being provided for the workpiece carrier, and a positioning plane being defined which is oriented perpendicular to the contact surface and perpendicular to the first moving direction, the positioning plane intersecting the receiving surface and being disposed in the centre of the length of the workpiece carrier along the first moving direction, and the contact element including at least two apertures which are disposed so that they are offset relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the contact surface, and the contact element including at least two protrusions which are also disposed so that they are offset relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the contact surface.
