Abstract
A workpiece carrier has a base frame, a shaft surrounding a drive axis and a workpiece carrier and includes a rotary frame mounted on the base frame so as to be rotatable about the drive axis, workpiece holders mounted on the rotary frame so as to be rotatable about holding axes, a driving part with a holder mounted so as to be rotatable about the drive axis, a transmission part operationally connected to the rotatably mounted workpiece holders, and an intermediate gear attached to the rotatably mounted holder. The intermediate gear is connected to the shaft and to the transmission part in such a way that the transmission part engages with the driving part so as to be rotatable about an output point that is spaced apart from the drive axis by an eccentricity.
