PCT No. PCT/CH84/00031 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 18, 1984 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 18, 1984 PCT Filed Feb. 27, 1984 PCT Pub. No. WO84/03242 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 30, 1984.A workpiece pallet suitable for fixing and transferring workpieces on machine tools is provided with direction-bound guidance on transfer holders. The transfer holders cooperate with a workpiece loading mechanism. The direction-bound guidance devices are located outside the working range of the fixed workpiece or outside the working range of the machining tools belonging to the machine tool. This ensures an all-round accessibility to the fixed workpiece during machining. With the aid of a quick-clamping device, the pallet can be rapidly and precisely used on the machine tool, independently of the workpiece clamping insert. Even in the case of the mass production of items, it is possible to maintain a particularly high precision in the reproduced position of the workpieces and consequently in the machining quality. The pallet can additionally be provided with a controllable waste piece locking system.
