Abstract: A conveyor system includes a conveyor track and at least one workpiece carrier that includes a first control curve and a second control curve, and a first control curve tracker and a second control curve tracker that are assigned to the conveyor track. The first control curve tracker is arranged in a first control engagement with the first control curve, and the second control curve tracker is arranged in a second control engagement with the second control curve. The control curves and associated control curve trackers are arranged so that the at least one workpiece carrier can be deflected laterally off of a subsection of the conveyor track via the interaction of the first control engagement and the second control engagement.

Abstract: A SCARA robot has a robot console, a first robot arm articulated on the robot console and swivelable about a first swivel axis, a second swivel arm articulated on the first swivel arm and swivelable around the second swivel axis extending substantially parallel to the first swivel axis, at least one work unit, at least one first swivel motor for swiveling an arm unit composed of the first and second robot arms relative to the robot console, at least one second swivel motor for turning the second robot arm relative to the first robot arm, and at least one work motor for actuating the work unit, with the motors being controllable by a power electronics, with electrical circuits including convertor circuits for current supply of the motors and at least one control circuit for operating the convertor circuits and thereby for controlling the motors, and with at least one rectifier circuit being received in at least one robot arm.

Abstract: A conveyor system has a conveyor track with a conveyor means that moves along at least one subsection of the conveyor track in a direction of conveyance, at least one workpiece carrier bringable into driving engagement with the conveying means to move it in the direction of conveyance, and a deflection device that deflects the workpiece carrier out of the direction of conveyance and therefore moves it from the subsection of the conveyor track, the deflection device including a deflection section that swivels the workpiece carrier around a swivel axis that is substantially parallel to its vertical axis, the deflection device also including a further deflection section that is located along a trajectory of the workpiece carrier in front of the deflection section and has a different design than the deflection section and that displaces the workpiece carrier laterally relative to the subsection of the conveyor track.
