Abstract

An arrangement is used for transferring workpieces through a succession of machining stations of a press, a simulator or similar machining system or tool setting system. This arrangement has two spaced transport rails which are arranged parallel to one another and which can be moved by motors horizontally in a longitudinal direction thereof, vertically up and down and horizontally toward one another. Each individual transport rail is pivotally connected for a horizontal movement in each case by way of a coupling rod. Traverses are operatively connected by way of at least one of the coupling rods with one respective transport rail. The traverses can be moved by an additional transverse drive which is synchronously driven by the driving motors arranged in a closing box of the press for the horizontal movement of the transport rails toward one another.
