Transfer press with non-uniform station separation

摘要

A press unit (1), especially a transfer press unit for production of large sheets, especially for body parts, with at least one press stage (23) and at least one multistation press (3) including at least two press stages (24,25), separated at a predetermined spacing (a). Press stage (23) of press (2) is separated by a spacing (b) from the remaining press stages (24) of the multistation press. A depot stage is located between press (2) and the multistation press (3) which can be moved under control in the transfer direction in order to equalize deviations between the spacing (b) and the transfer steps of the transfer device (28).
