Zusammenfassung:	A work station module which includes a buffer storage area (B) for the transitory storage of workpiece carriers (A) which are received at non-specific intervals, and an escapement station (C) to facilitate performance of some operation of a workpiece carried by each carrier. The buffer storage area (B) includes a conveying surface (30) which is defined by a plurality of fibers (36) and which is vibrated to move the carriers longitudinally therealong. The resiliency of the fibers (36) permits carriers (A) which are adjacent the escapement station (C) to remain stationary even though the conveying surface (30) is vibrating. At the escapement station, each workpiece carrier (A) is coarsely positioned by positioning means (60, 62), and oriented by pins (90, 92) received in bushings (22, 24) to facilitate performance of the operation. Following the operation, the carrier is returned to the vibrating conveying surface (30) for conveying to the buffer storage area (B) of the next module. Module de station de travail comprenant une zone de stockage tampon (B) pour le stockage passager de supports de pièces à usiner (A) qui sont reçus à des intervalles non spécifiques, et station de dégagement (C) permettant de faciliter l'exécution d'une opération quelconque sur la pièce à usiner transportée par chaque support. La zone de stockage tampon (B) comprend une surface transporteuse (30) qui est définie par une pluralité de fibres (36) et qui vibre pour déplacer les supports longitudinalement. L'élasticité des fibres (36) permet aux supports (A) qui sont adjacents à la station de dégagement (C) de rester stationnaires même lorsque la surface transporteuse (30) est en vibration. A la station de dégagement, chaque support de pièce à usiner (A) est positionné grossièrement par des organes de positionnement (60, 62) et est orienté par des ergots (90, 92) logés dans des douilles (22, 24) pour faciliter l'exécution de l'opération. Après l'opération, le support est renvoyé à la surface transporteuse vibratoire (30) pour être acheminé vers la zone de stockage tampon (B) du module suivant.
