Abstract
An alignment and stacking arrangement for stampings manufactured in a continuous stamping operation by a stamping machine having a punch and associated punch matrix. At least one stacking channel is arranged in the punch matrix for receiving the stampings with an intermediate stack forming device being associated with stacking channel. The intermediate stack forming device may include at least one locking pawl for reducing the clearance of the stacking channel and/or a mandrel arranged in the stacking channel which is selectively engaged by a holding element during the formation of the intermediate stack. A stacking mandrel or stacking shaft is associated with the mandrel and is displaceable so as to permit a stack of stampings of a predetermined height to be carried away from the stamping machine by a conveyor arrangement.
