Device for displacing workpiece carriers

Abstract

Apparatus for displacing workpiece carriers from one conveying path to a further conveying path. The apparatus has a lifting device for the workpiece carrier arranged in a transfer zone with which the workpiece carrier can be transferred from the feeding conveyor path to the further conveyor path. The further conveyor path has at least one transport, where pulling run can be lifted and later lowered from the first place to a second place by the lifting device so that the pulling run of the transport belt can serve as a support for the workpiece carrier. Arranged at the end of a transport section of the further conveyor path in the transport zone, is at least one lifting-deflecting device deflecting a transport belt, which lifting-deflecting device can lift and lower the respective transport belt from the first plane to the second plane substantially by the same amount as the lifting device of the same transport belt.
