Abstract

A device for receiving a workpiece for a workpiece carrier circulation system of a production machine is provided, including a workpiece carrier with a workpiece receiver and a holder to be arranged on the machine for receiving the workpiece carrier in a detachable, temporary manner. The workpiece carrier includes a rotor section (5) which, when the workpiece carrier is received in the holder, interacts with a stator (20) provided on the holder, forming a torque motor and thus being rotatable about an axis in the holder.
