Abstract
A transporting device for transporting substantially flat components between a pair of opposed carrier belts guided along two parallel guide rails which extend in the direction of transport. The flat components are held by clamping elements mounted elastically on the carriers for fixedly clamping the flat components for transport between the carrier belts. Additionally, a detection device for detecting an incorrect position of at least one of the clamping elements in relation to its associated carrier belt is provided which produces a signal that can be used to stop the carrier belts, actuate a warning signal, or for other safety enhancing purposes.
