Abstract
A mechanical arrangement () for processing rod-like workpieces, especially pipes (), has a processing device () for processing a workpiece, a workpiece-moving device () for moving workpieces () relative to the processing device (), and a device () for supporting a workpiece in the direction of gravity. The device () for supporting a workpiece includes at least one support roller () which forms at its outer periphery a workpiece rest. The workpiece rest at the outer periphery of the support roller () extends about a roller rotation axis () of the support roller () at a changing center distance. The support roller () is rotatable about the roller rotation axis () in a controlled manner and is thereby positionable in different rotational positions.
