A workpiece transfer assembly (,) for a press of the type including a reciprocating member and a series of in-line stations wherein each station is a further progression of the workpiece W forming process includes a workpiece engaging jaw (,) having clasps (,) attached thereto for clasping the workpieces W. The jaw (,) is moved on three axis, first by a lateral motion mechanism (,) for moving the jaw (,) in a horizontal direction and laterally relative to the work stations into and out of workpiece W engagement position. Second, by a vertical motion mechanism (,) for moving the jaw (,) in a vertical direction relative to the workstations. Third, in a linear motion mechanism (,) for moving the jaw (,) in a horizontal direction and linearly relative to the work stations. The assembly (,) includes a reciprocal lateral motor (,) for actuating the lateral motion mechanism (,), a reciprocal vertical motor (,) for actuating the vertical motion mechanism (,), and a linear motor (,) for actuating the linear motion mechanism (,). A controller for programming the motors through a programmed actuation process communicates with the motors.
