Abstract
A conveying apparatus for workpieces during a manufacturing procedure has a fixed guide track and a guide track having a variable geometry. The variable guide track includes a plurality of sections movable relative to the fixed guide track. The displacement of the movable sections of the variable guide track alters the distance between carriers arranged on a continuous conveyor chain in the region in which workpieces are transferred from a feed belt to a discharge belt.
