ABSTRACT:
A stamping press having a workpiece transfer mechanism connected thereto. The transfer mechanism includes a reciprocating carriage having a rigid cross arm thereon extending transverse to the path of travel of the carriage. A pair of laterally spaced, parallel finger bars extend lengthwise of the path of travel of the carriage and have one end thereof fixedly mounted on and supported on the opposite ends of the cross arm such as to reciprocate with the carriage. The other ends of the finger bars are slideably supported adjacent the die in the press. The finger bars have fingers thereon which are movable preferably in a vertical plane between work-engaging and work-releasing positions. In one embodiment the fingers are fixedly mounted on the finger bars and the finger bars are rotated to actuate the fingers in a vertical plane between work-engaging and work-releasing position. In another embodiment the fingers are raised and lowered in a vertical plane parallel to the axis of each finger bar.
