Device for increasing a transverse gap between workpieces

摘要

The device (10) has link chains including a receiving station (26) and a discharging station (33) for a workpiece (12). The link chains receive, transport and deliver the workpiece in a region of the receiving and discharging stations in a transporting unit (18). A distance (40) of the workpiece in the discharging station fixed transverse to the transporting unit is greater than a distance (38) of the workpiece in the receiving station. A sucking module is provided below the link chains that include a set of chain links (30) with openings, so that air is passed through the openings.
