Abstract:
The invention concerns a workpiece carrier ( 4 ) for a production unit ( 1 ) with at least one conveying section ( 2 ). The workpiece carrier ( 4 ) comprises a workpiece carrier body ( 13 ), a workpiece receptacle ( 16 ) arranged on the workpiece carrier body ( 13 ), a guide device ( 14 ) which is arranged on the workpiece carrier body ( 13 ) by means of which the workpiece carrier ( 4 ) can be received and displaced in the production unit ( 1 ), in particular in the conveying section ( 2 ), and a code element ( 20 ) which is arranged on the workpiece carrier body ( 13 ) which is designed to identify the workpiece carrier ( 4 ) by means of a detection means ( 11 ) arranged in the production unit ( 1 ). For identification, the code element ( 20 ) has inhomogeneous material properties in its longitudinal orientation. During a relative movement of the code element ( 20 ) in the longitudinal orientation ( 23 ) relative to the detection means ( 11 ), the inhomogeneous material properties of the code element ( 20 ) can be detected by the detection means ( 11 ) and the workpiece carrier ( 4 ) can be identified.

Claim (Index 26):
Method for identification of a workpiece carrier ( 4 ) according to  claim 19 , in a production unit ( 1 ) comprising at least one conveying section ( 2 ) with a guide structure ( 3 ), and at least one detection means ( 11 ) arranged in the production unit ( 1 ) designed for identification of a code element ( 20 ) arranged on the workpiece carrier ( 4 ), wherein the method comprises the following process steps:\n Movement of the workpiece carrier ( 4 ) in a conveying section ( 2 ) of the production unit ( 1 ), wherein the workpiece carrier ( 4 ) has at least four code elements ( 20 ) which are designed to identify the workpiece carrier ( 4 ) by means of the detection means ( 11 ) arranged in the production unit ( 1 ) and wherein for this identification have inhomogeneous material properties in a longitudinal orientation ( 23 ), wherein the inhomogeneous material properties are formed by openings ( 24 ) in the code elements ( 20 ) and wherein the existence of at least four code elements ( 20 ) allows the orientation of the workpiece carrier body ( 13 ) to be determined; Passage of the workpiece carrier ( 4 ) by the detection means ( 11 ), wherein in a relative movement of one of the code elements ( 20 ) relative to the detection means ( 11 ) the inhomogeneous material properties of the code element ( 20 ) are detected by the detection means ( 11 ); and Analysis of the signal output by the detection means ( 11 ) and thus identification of the workpiece carrier ( 4 ).
