A transfer system for forging machines or the like is disclosed in which a transfer assembly is cantilever-mounted on a powered support for easy removal and replacement, e.g., to provide access to the forging machine dies. Mounting means including mating surfaces on the support and the transfer assembly, which, when engaged, position the transfer assembly with respect to the support. Such surfaces are contained in at least three mutually perpendicular planes. A wedge operated by a piston and cylinder actuator operates in one position to lock the transfer assembly on the support and, when retracted, permits removal of the transfer assembly by vertical movement. The mounting means is arranged to provide locating surfaces and cam surfaces which assist the operator in guiding the transfer assembly to its mounted position. |
