Abstract: The invention relates to a device for returning machined workpieces from the delivery side of a first machining unit to the feeding side of the first or of another machining unit. The inventive device comprises the following: a transfer device (1) for transferring the machined workpieces to the delivery side of the first machining unit; a lifting device for lifting the workpieces, which are delivered by the transfer unit, into a return position located above the transfer unit, and; a return device (2) for conveying the workpieces, which are delivered by the lifting device, back to the feeding side of the first or the other machining unit. The transfer device (1) comprises a transfer table with interspaced first supporting elements (4) for the workpieces. The lifting device comprises at least one lifting table (3, 3?, 3?) that, in turn, has interspaced second support elements (5), which can be upwardly guid through between the first support elements (4) of the transfer table.

Abstract: To simplify and speed up folding of plate-like elements (1) along a fold line (2), more particularly in a continuous operation, a method and a an apparatus for folding plate-like elements (1) are proposed which eliminate the use of counter-impression elements in the region of the fold line (2). The apparatus includes a second impression device (6) that folds a second section (4) of the plate-like element (1) about the fold line (2) by a first force component oriented perpendicular to the plane of the second section (4). At the same time the second impression device (6) produces a second force component oriented in the plane of the second section (4) and acting in the direction of the fold line (2) to urge a first section (3) of the plate-like element (1) against a first impression device (5).
