Fördervorrichtung zum Fördern von Werkstücken durch einen Behandlungsbereich zur Oberflächenbehandlung der Werkstücke

摘要

The invention relates to a conveyor device which is used to transport workpieces, especially the workpieces of motor vehicle bodies (104), through a processing area (108) for surface treatment of said workpieces, comprising a conveyor (100) which brings the workpieces which are respectively maintained by a holder (112) into the processing area and removes them therefrom. The inventive conveyor device requires less maintenance in comparison with known conveyor devices. The holders (112) respectively comprise a base part which moves in a translatory movement along a conveyor device (120) and a rotating part (146) on which the workpiece is arranged and which is held in such a way that it is rotatable on the base part (124). The conveyor comprises at least one drive device (106) enabling at least one directly driven respective holder (11a) to be driven directly in a movement along the conveyor device (120). The movement of the directly driven holder (112a) is transferred to an indirectly driven holder as a result of the contact between the directly driven holder and said at least one indirectly driven holder.
