• a discharging installation for selectively discharging workpieces from said unloading installation;
• and
• at least one workpiece support configured to receive the at least one workpiece to be transferred from said unloading installation;
• said discharging installation including a longitudinal conveyor installation that extends at least between said unloading installation and said at least one workpiece support;
• and
• said discharging installation including a workpiece turnout configured to enable the workpiece delivered from said unloading installation to be selectively transferred into said longitudinal conveyor installation or onto said at least one workpiece support;
• said workpiece turnout having a guide face which, for transferring the workpiece from said unloading installation to said workpiece support, closes a gap formed by said longitudinal conveyor installation, and said workpiece turnout being configured as a stop beam which extends at least partially along said unloading installation and which is displaceable relative to said workpiece support.
