Abstract
A workpiece carrier system for the loose support on a friction conveyor comprises a displacement element. The displacement element has a friction surface adjacent to drive elements, such as drive rollers of the friction conveyor for displacing the workpiece carrier system. The displacement element is connected with a carrier element for receiving a workpiece. Support elements are connected with the carrier element for absorbing part of the workpiece weight.
Claims17
A workpiece carrier system for loose placement on friction conveyors, comprising
- a displacement element having a friction surface in contact with the friction conveyor for transmitting movement through friction forces,
- a carrier element for receiving a workpiece and connected with the displacement element, and
- at least one support element for absorbing at least a part of the weight of the workpiece, the support element being connected with the carrier element and independent of the displacement element.
