Abstract: A chain link for a curved conveyor chain, the chain link comprising a base body and a bolt, the base body having an articulation section and a fork section and a carrier means for carrying material that is to be conveyed, the bolt being elongated and designed in a circular cylindrical manner in at least one central section. In the articulation section, a bolt opening is provided through which the bolt can pass and can rotate relative to at least two axes. The fork section has an articulation recess for receiving the articulation section of an adjoining identical chain link, the fork section having two opposite bolt recesses which can receive the opposite ends of the bolt of the adjoining chain link. The articulation and fork sections of two adjoining, identical chain links are maintained at a distance by two slide sections.

Abstract: A processing station for a processing line, having a module platform (12) and a plurality of withdrawable modules (14) that can be introduced into it has a transporting device (40, 42) for transporting workpieces (59) to be processed at the processing station (10). According to the invention, the transporting device (40, 42) includes a plurality of part-transporting devices (43), and one part-transporting device (43) is associated with each withdrawable module (14) and is solidly connected to the withdrawable module (14). Moreover, at least some of the part-transporting devices 43 include a first transportation path (40), which is embodied for transporting a workpiece (56) essentially over the width of the withdrawable module (14) in a first transporting direction (T1).

Abstract: A device is described for transporting workpiece holders between multiple processing stations, a traction mechanism conveyor line being provided having at least one conveyor unit and at least one transfer unit for transferring the workpiece holders between the traction mechanism conveyor line and a processing station. The workpiece holders lie loosely on the traction mechanism conveyor line and project laterally beyond the traction mechanism conveyor line, and the transfer unit is situated at least partially below the conveyor plane and movable perpendicular thereto in such a way that the workpiece holders are graspable from below by the transfer unit at their area projecting beyond the traction mechanism conveyor line.

Abstract: A link chain has a plurality of chain links, with at least one chain link having a carrying unit and a guide unit, wherein a carrying surface of the carrying unit, at least in places, extends in both a feed direction and in a transverse direction of the at least one chain link, and the guide unit is situated on a side of the carrying unit oriented away from the carrying surface in a vertical direction of the at least one chain link and serves to connect the at least one chain link to a chain link preceding and to a chain link following the at least one chain link in the feed direction, wherein the carrying unit is stepped with an upper plate part that has the carrying surface and a lower plate part that is offset from the upper plate part in the feed direction, wherein the lower plate part has an upper surface oriented toward a lower counterpart surface of the upper plate part of an adjoining chain link, and the upper surface of the lower plate part is at least partially inclined downwards in a direction exte

Abstract: A chain link (10) of a curved conveyor chain has been proposed, which has a carrying device (12) for transport material. A head part (24) disposed under the carrying device (12) has a lateral bore (40) for a pin (48) of a first adjacent chain link (10). The head part (24) is adjoined by a fork-shaped section (26) with two legs (44), which encompass the head part (24) of a second adjacent chain link (10). The legs (44) and contain lateral bores (46). A pin (48) is also provided, which is contained in the lateral bores (46) of the legs (44) and in the head part (24) of the second adjacent chain link (10). Projections (52) protrude from the legs (44) and are designed to be guided in a guide profile and driven by means of a driving wheel. The object of the invention is to produce a chain link (10), which permits a favorable introduction of force.
