Abstract

In a press installation including a press with at least one press station and a multi-station press between arranged at a distance from each other which is a non-integral multiple of the press station distance of the multi-stage press. The installation also includes a transport arrangement for moving workpieces from press station to press-station concurrently by a step corresponding to the distance between the press station of the multi-station press. To compensate for an increased distance between the press station of the press and the adjacent press station of the multi-station press a deposit stage is arranged between the press and the multi-station press and includes a movable support an which the workpiece removed from the press can be deposited and from which, after appropriate movement of the support in the transport direction, it can be picked up by the transport arrangement for placement in the adjacent press station of the multi-stage press.
