ABSTRACT:
A mechanism is disclosed for transferring a metal billet to and from a metalworking press. The mechanism includes an upright support member and a transfer arm having one end slidably and pivotally associated therewith. The other end of the arm carries a workpiece holder which is adapted to selectively grip and release a workpiece to be transferred. A link member has opposite ends pivotally connected one with the arm and the other with the support member and is actuable to pivotally and slidably displace the arm from one side of the support member to the other. The support member is located between the press and a billet conveyor mechanism, whereby displacement of the arm serves to transfer a billet between the conveyor and press locations. The workpiece holder has an axis of orientation which is rotated 90.degree. in response to movement of the arm between the conveyor and press locations, thus to rotate the billet axis 90.degree. during a transfer operation.
