ABSTRACT:
Transportation apparatus comprising two parallel chains extending in the transport direction. Workpiece carriers are disposed between the chains and extend parallel to each other. Each workpiece carrier includes two support elements extending parallel to each other and are rigidly connected together. On each workpiece carrier, a plurality of workpiece clamps are disposed. Each workpiece clamp comprises two clamp members, respectively connected to the support elements. At least one clamp member of each workpiece clamp is pivotal about the support element with which it is connected, between a closed position and an open position. The chains are fed between a charging station, at which the workpiece clamps are changed with workpieces, and a discharge station at which the workpieces are released from the clamps.
