Abstract

An apparatus for moving a workpiece in a press installation has a transfer bar extending along a longitudinal bar axis and having longitudinally opposite bar ends. A plurality of tool assemblies on the transfer bar are adapted to grip and hold the workpiece; A pair of stationary frames spaced apart along a Y axis generally parallel to the bar axis are juxtaposed with the bar ends and longitudinally flank the bar. A pair of X slides are each displaceable in a horizontal X direction perpendicular to the Y axis on a respective one of the frames. Respective primary mounts on the X slides each carry a respective end of the bar with the bar longitudinally movable in each of the primary mounts.
