The link is turnable relative to the holder about a vertical axis and its other end supports an arm which is turnable about a vertical axis and supports two tongs. The tongs are angularly offset relative to each other by 180.degree. about the horizontal axis and at least one jaw of each tongs is movable relative to the other arm in the direction of the horizontal axis. The movements of the carrier, holder, link, arm and movable jaws are regulated by numerical controls.
