Abstract: A transfer device comprising a mandrel wheel; and a transfer wheel, respectively driven to rotate about rotation axes that are parallel to one another and which respectively include supports in their peripheries for objects to be imprinted or processed otherwise, wherein a distance of the supports at the mandrel wheel from a rotation axis of the mandrel wheel is variable between a minimum distance and a maximum distance, and the mandrel wheel and the transfer wheel are arranged adjacent to one another so that objects are transferrable from a transport device through the transfer wheel to a respective support at the mandrel wheel or vice versa from the mandrel wheel through the transfer wheel to a transport device, wherein the supports are respectively attached to the transfer wheel through a transfer pivot arm so that they are pivotable about a pivot axis.

Abstract: In an arrangement for machining workpieces, with at least a first machining station in which the workpieces are machined during an operating cycle comprising a machining phase and a transport phase, and a transport unit which includes first accommodation structures for the workpieces and via which the workpieces can be supplied to the first machining station during the transport phase, a second machining station is arranged in transport direction after the first machining station in spaced relationship and the first accommodation structure is arranged on the transport unit so as to be movable relative thereto for supplying workpieces to both machining stations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for treating surfaces of cylindrical elements in several process steps, including a first cleaning device (30) for removing residuals of a coolant and lubricant used during draw wall ironing from a cylindrical element produced through draw wall ironing so that a cleaned and pre-dried cylindrical element is provided. The device includes a surface treatment device (50) for treating at least one surface of the cleaned and pre dried cylindrical element and a second cleaning device (70) for cleaning the surface treated cylindrical element.

Abstract: A production line with processing stations processing products with a production speed in products per unit time, the production line comprising a temporarily discontinuously operating processing station; a production line section connected upstream of the temporarily discontinuously operating processing station; a production line section connected downstream from the temporarily discontinuously operating processing station; a first product buffer arranged between the upstream production line section and the temporarily discontinuously operating processing station; and a second product buffer arranged between the temporarily discontinuously operating processing station and the downstream production line section.
