Abstract: A system for forming workpieces, has at least one forming tool has at least one machining device with a local energy feed. The local feed is provided for machining the workpieces as a separate station within the forming system.

Abstract: A mechanism for removing double parts from the last machining stage of a press includes telescopically slidable pipes. In order to house the supporting elements of a supporting device, which are used for the support of sheet metal parts in areas situated away from the gripper rails and in the center with respect to the gripper rails, the telescopically slidable pipes are connected between the gripper rails. The pipes extend in the direction of the opening and closing movement of the gripper rails and, in the area situated in the center with respect to the gripper rails carry a bushing. The center position of the bushing is caused by stand-side guiding devices. The bushing is provided with the supporting elements which in the last machining stage of the press support the separated sheet metal parts.
