ABSTRACT:
An installation for assembling and/or machining parts manually and/or automatically, the installation comprising a plurality of stations or modules through which part-carrying platens move along a path comprising successive horizontal path portions extending at right angles to one another. The platens are driven along successive path portions by successive belts which at least partially support the platens, the improvement being that each module has as many belts (93, 99, 118) as it has perpendicular path portions, with each belt comprising an endless loop having a driving portion (95) and a return portion (94). The portions extend between a pair of vertical axis pulleys (88, 94') located in the vicinity of the ends of each path portion, with successive perpendicular endless loops being at different horizontal levels, whereby successive loops within a module share a common pulley having two loop-receiving grooves (94, 102) at the different levels, thereby enabling a single motor to drive all the endless loops within any one module.
