Abstract: A transfer device in a simulator or a press has two transport rails which extend in the press passage direction and which can be moved in two or three axes. One or several carrier rails are detachably mounted on each transport rail. For a tool change, the carrier rails can be deposited on depositing supports of the sliding table. Between the transport rails and the carrier rails, locking and fastening devices are provided which permit a coupling-uncoupling operation which is caused by the movements of the carrier rails in the axes.
