Abstract
A production installation comprises a loading transport means with a transport rail connecting processing machines. It also comprises workpiece grippers for supplying the processing machines with workpieces to be processed and for removing processed workpieces from the processing machines. The workpiece grippers can be pivoted about only one pivot axis between a lowered transfer position and a pivoted-up transport position. The processing machines also comprise a workpiece carriage which can be displaced transversely with respect to the direction of the transport rail for transport between the workpiece gripper and processing position on the processing machine.
