6.2 Overview of the System
CP Lab Conveyor, CP Factory Linear, CP Factory Shunt and CP Factory Bypass are called basic modules. If an
application module, e.g. the CP Application Module muscle press is attached to a basic module, it becomes
a station.

If several stations are put in a row one behind the other, this will form a production line.

carrier pallet workpiece
Carriers are transported on the conveyors of the basic modules. And on the carriers, there are pallets with a
fixed workpiece reception placed. The workpieces are placed on the workpiece reception or taken from it.
Pallets can also be placed on a carrier in some stations or gripped from there.
The typical workpiece of a CP Factory/Lab System is the roughly simplified version of a mobile phone. The
workpiece consists of a front cover, of a back cover, of a board and of a maximum of two fuses.
