Abstract
A device for receiving a workpiece for a workpiece carrier circulation system of a production machine is provided, including a workpiece carrier with a workpiece receiver and a holder to be arranged on the machine for receiving the workpiece carrier in a detachable, temporary manner. The workpiece carrier includes a rotor section (5) which, when the workpiece carrier is received in the holder, interacts with a stator (20) provided on the holder, forming a torque motor and thus being rotatable about an axis in the holder.
Claims9
A device for receiving a workpiece for a workpiece carrier circulating system of a production machine, comprising a workpiece carrier with a workpiece receiver and a holder arranged on a machine side for detachable, temporary holding of the workpiece carrier, the workpiece carrier is rotatable about an axis (D), and is holdable in the holder, and has a rotor section that interacts, when it is held in the holder, with a stator provided on the holder and this interaction forms a torque motor, the rotor section is constructed as a rotating projection that extends radially and has integrated permanent magnets and is held, in a held position, between stator windings of the stator that is open at a side, with said windings being arranged at a distance from each other on the holder side.
