Conveyor with linear axis devices

A conveying system, comprising:

• at least three axis devices for transporting component receiving portions for receiving a component and/or a component holder on a station path along a main transport direction in a component station,
• wherein the axis devices each have a carriage assembly having one of the component receiving portions and having a feed apparatus for feeding the one component receiving portion from an avoidance state to a transport position, and
• each have a linear shaft apparatus for moving the one component receiving portion in the transport position along the station path in the main transport direction and for returning the one component receiving portion in the avoidance state in a reverse direction,
• at least two of the axis devices being configured as linear displacement axis devices which linearly move the one component receiving portion in a spatial direction of the feed apparatus, the spatial directions each defining a projection direction in a projection plane perpendicular to the main transport direction, wherein the projection directions are different, wherein there is an obtuse or acute intermediate angle between the projection directions of two of the linear axis devices.
