Apparatus and method for conveying flat members through a processing unit.

摘要

Apparatus for conveying flat, preferably plate-shaped members (9) that have previously been processed on one or both surfaces through a processing unit (8), for example, conveying printed electrical circuit boards through a circulating air drying or auxiliary finishing oven, includes a rotor (10) having more than one receptor device (13) for accepting the members (9) individually. which receptor devices are situated on the periphery of a hub-shaped carrier (12). The rotor is driven to rotate in a stepwise fashion corresponding to the arrangement of the receptor devices. Means (19) for loading and unloading the members, that function within the periphery of the rotor are also provided.
