Abstract
The present invention provides a work transfer device for transferring a work between adjoining pressing machines including a work holder () for holding a work W, a carrier () provided between the adjoining pressing machines () and capable of being linearly moved in a direction orthogonal to a work transfer direction with a driving mechanism, and a swinging body () with a swinging center shaft thereof provided on this carrier () and capable of being driven for swinging by a swinging mechanism () along the work transfer direction, and the work holder () is provided in the swinging body (). Because of this configuration, it is not necessary to secure a trajectory for swiveling like in a robot arm type of transfer device, not to extend a lift beam up to a position close to a slide like in the feeder type of transfer device, so that it is not necessary to widen a clearance between uprights () and a tandem press () can be size-reduced as a whole.
