Transport Device And Method For Transporting Objects From Work Station To Work Station Of A Production System And Production System For The Manufacturing Of Products With A Transport Device Of This Type

The invention relates to a transport device comprising a rotary object carrier which comprises object carrier elements arranged so as to be distributed around the circumference, on which carrier elements objects are arranged which are transported on a circular movement path from work station to work station of a production facility. Furthermore, the invention relates to a production facility for making products, in particular containers filled with a medical product, comprising a transport device of this kind, as well as to a method for transporting objects from work station to work station of a production facility. The transport device according to the invention is characterised in that one or more actuator units 18.1, 18.2; 12.1, 12.2 are assigned to one object carrier element 6 or to a plurality of object carrier elements 6, which units can move together with the object carrier element 6 or the object carrier elements 6. Since the actuator units 18.1, 18.2; 12.1, 12.2 rotate together with the object carrier elements, process steps can be performed on the objects that are assigned to the object carrier elements directly on the object carrier elements. A stationary arrangement of actuators that engage with the objects from the outside is therefore not required. This makes the entire production process more flexible. The actuator units are preferably provided with media by a central supply device by means of a rotary feedthrough.
