Abstract
A device ( ) to feed work pieces in steps, for example within a press ( ), using two gripping rails ( ) that can be moved back and forth in the feed direction, that includes at least one feed traverse ( ) that moves perpendicular to itself with which to uniformly feed and return the gripping rails ( ). Coupled to this traverse is at least one tilt arm ( ) that is driven by a servomotor ( ) whose tilt motion is converted to the perpendicular motion of the feed traverse ( ) and thus into the feed and return motion of the gripping rails ( ). There can also be two tilt arms ( ) arranged in a mirror-image fashion.
