Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0850709A1] The transfer unit is used for workpieces to be transported along a predetermined route, in particular, along several successive workstations and includes a cross beam (46) provided with at least one holding device (47) for holding and releasing workpieces, a carrier mechanism for the cross beam enabling the holding device to be moved along a predetermined transfer curve (K), and a drive system which can move the carrier mechanism in two mutually independent directions (T, V), and is provided with two independently controllable drive units (77, 78; 88, 89). The unit is improved by the following facts: (a) the carrier mechanism includes linkage mechanisms (59, 83) connected to the two ends of the cross beam (46); (b) the cross beam (46) is carried by these linkage mechanism, and (c) is synchronously driven at both ends by the drive units (77, 78; 88, 89). A corresponding multistation press is improved by the presence of at least one transfer unit (41).
