Abstract
An arrangement is used for transferring workpieces through a succession of machining stations of a press, a simulator or similar machining or tool-setting machine. Two parallel transport rails are spaced at a distance from one another and can be moved by motors horizontally in their longitudinal direction, vertically up and down and optionally horizontally toward one another. The motors are arranged on one traverse respectively, the transport rail being hinged to the traverse. Between the transport rails and the motors arranged on the traverse, a compensating guide is provided for the horizontal movement of the transport rails. The compensating guide has at least two struts and a double-armed lug with three hinge points, each of the struts being mounted on the traverse side in a hinged manner at one point respectively. The other end of the struts is in each case mounted on one of the hinge points of the double-armed lug, the third hinge point of the double-armed lug being disposed on the transport rail in a hinged manner.
