Gripping devices in idling stage areas of a transfer press

摘要

For avoiding collisions between the grippers (5) adapted to be moved out of the idling stage area and the grippers (4) disposed fixedly at interchangeable gripper rail partial sections (1) and work tool parts, the grippers (5) which are adapted to be moved out of the idling stage area, are raised into an upright position. The grippers (5) and the rotary adjusting drive (10) for the uprighting are adapted to be moved out of the idling stage area on a carriage (18-gripper mounting support) by way of an adjusting means (13) at the exchangeable gripper rail partial section.
