Abstract
A station for piling, separating and ejecting batches of workpieces includes rollers for carrying the workpieces against a front stop and placing them on a table movable in a descending fashion, separating arms connected to a horizontal separator-carrying crossbar and an outlet conveyor at a level of which the table descends for removing the batches. The station includes temporary front and rear holders for supporting the workpieces as the separator is withdrawn to move the batch from the table onto the outlet conveyor, which may have a driven portion so that a shifting force for transferring a batch from the table to the conveyor occurs both on the uppermost and lowermost workpiece of the batch or stack.
