Abstract

See full text

A transfer system (100) for transporting work pieces in a press (1), comprises a transfer rail (150) having a plurality of grippers (152) for gripping the work pieces, a linear mechanism (110) attachable to a press frame (2) of the press (1) for linearly moving the transfer rail (150) with respect to the press frame (2) and an articulated mechanism (130) for carrying the transfer rail (150), the articulated mechanism (130) comprising at least three parallel swivel axes, whereby the articulated mechanism (130) is attached to the linear mechanism (110) such that it is linearly moveable with respect to the press frame (2). Articulated mechanisms are widely used and cost-effective. They allow for a simple construction of the transfer system. Furthermore, they allow for a very precise control. The linear mechanism and the main part of the articulated mechanism may be arranged on an outer side of the press frame, whereby only the transfer rail and the foremost part of the articulated mechanism to which the transfer rail is attached enter the press window. Therefore, the mechanism is well suited for presses with a small press window.
