A processing station, for example a framing station, for workpieces formed as vehicle body parts. The station has at least one clamping frame, at least one magazine area for holding the clamping frames, a working area for processing the workpieces and a feed device for feeding the clamping frames between the at least one magazine area and the working area in a longitudinal direction X and a transverse direction Y. The feed device has a floor-based rail arrangement for guiding and carrying the clamping frames.
