Articulated arm transport system

A device for transporting workpieces in a press, press-line, large-component transfer press, or simulator, the device comprising:

• a machining station having at least one independent transport device for transporting the workpieces and for carrying out two-axis transport movement, the at least one transport device comprising:
• a pivoting arm, the pivoting arm including first and second pivoting arm parts mounted for movement in rotation,
• a first movement transmission means coupled to the first pivoting arm part,
• a drive motor for acting on the first movement transmission means and controlling a magnitude of a pivoting angle of the first pivoting arm part,
• a transverse crossmember having a component holding means,
• a pick-up and bearing unit arranged at one end of the second pivoting part for coupling the transverse crossmember to the second arm part,
• linear guides,
• a carriage coupled to the linear guides and mounting at least the pivoting arm,
• a second transmission movement means coupled to the carriage, and
• a stationary lifting motor for vertically moving the carriage via the second movement transmission means.
