Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for transferring components of different designs, in particular vehicle components, from one processing station to a production line or further processing station. The system includes at least one transfer unit with at least one holding unit and a plurality of holding elements fixed on the holding unit such that at least one receptacle is formed between them. In order to automate the transfer of the components from the processing station to the production line or further processing station, the system further includes at least one loading unit to mechanically stack the components in the receptacle formed between the holding elements, and at least one unloading unit to mechanically unload the components stacked in the receptacle from the transfer unit and introduce the unloaded components into the production line or into the further processing station.
