A multistand press or similar press facility for the forming of sheet metal parts, is provided with bedplate, press stand and several press slides driven by the press drive for tool top parts interacting with tool bottom parts. Gearings for deflecting the rotating movement of the motor drive into the upward and downward movement of the press slides are arranged between press stands which each form a pair of stands, and are disposed opposite one another, and above the introduction of force into the press slides. Two gearings are provided for the respective pair of stands of two press slides. This make it possible to drive the press slides assigned to a pair of press stands from one press stand area.

For avoiding collisions between the grippers (5) adapted to be moved out of the idling stage area and the grippers (4) disposed fixedly at interchangeable gripper rail partial sections (1) and work tool parts, the grippers (5) which are adapted to be moved out of the idling stage area, are raised into an upright position. The grippers (5) and the rotary adjusting drive (10) for the uprighting are adapted to be moved out of the idling stage area on a carriage (18-gripper mounting support) by way of an adjusting means (13) at the exchangeable gripper rail partial section.

An intermediate storage in a press in which intermediate storages are to be provided within the area of idling stages thereof. The intermediate storages include storage templates matched to the shape of the bottom side of the workpieces which are adapted to be liftable in the vertical direction by way of lifting means. The lifting means may thereby act on the storage templates in the sense of a lifting movement, for example, by way of intermediate members displaceable by a motor-driven spindle, which act on the storage templates in the sense of a lifting movement by way of counter-abutment surfaces disposed at the ends of the storage templates.
