Device and method for processing brake linings mounted on carriers

A device for processing one or more brake pads (44) fitted on one or more respective pad holders (46) positioned on a conveying device (16), the device comprising at least one processing station (12) positioned above the conveying device (16), where the conveying device (16) provides continuous movement of the one or more brake pads (44) to be processed by the at least one processing station (12) in a linear conveying direction,

• characterized in that
• the conveying device (16) comprises:
• one or more plate elements (38) each having at least one bearing face (60), where the one or more plate elements (38) are secured to and driven by the conveying device (16) for receiving, on the bearing face (60) of the one or more plate elements (38), one or more pad holders (46) of the one or more brake pads (44) to be processed;
• and positioning means at least partially surrounding the bearing face (60) and extending upward from the plate elements (38) to contact the pad holders (46) when the one or more pad holders (46) are placed on the bearing face (60) of the one or more plate elements (38) to counteract a rotation of the one or more pad holders (46) about an axis extending in the direction of the gravity force with respect to the respective bearing face (60) on the one or more plate elements (38) during processing of the brake pads (44) by the at least one processing station (12) on the conveying device (16).
