Abstract

A multistation press, particularly a suction device press, for machining sheet metal parts is provided for the successive machining of workpieces in several stages. Several press stations are arranged behind one another so that workpieces pass through the stations successively. At least one transfer device transports the workpiece. A common driving device for all press stations has a drive shaft divided into shaft sections. At least one press station is assigned to each shaft section. Slides are driven by the drive shaft and are assigned to one press station, respectively. An adjustable coupling is provided between two successively arranged shaft sections for adjusting a specific phase shift between two successive press stations.
