Workpiece carriers are transported by the two transport belts until they reach the work- station stopping device (STEIN Automation\ option). The position query triggers the mo- vement of the lifting unit and raises the workpiece carrier. After processing in this raised position, the elevating platform is lowered and the workpiece carrier is transferred onto the belt elements' transport belts.
On operating stations which generate shavings (for example drilling or thread-cutting machinery), covers should be installed to avoid shavings or cooling fluid coming into contact with the belt elements or the centring device.
