    Patent number: 6220813
    Abstract: A workpiece transfer apparatus includes a support member and first and second control shafts. The control shafts are rotatably supported by the support member in a spaced-apart configuration. A workpiece support is operably connected to the first and second control shafts. The workpiece support is shaped to support a workpiece during transfer. Rotation of the first control shaft shifts the workpiece support in a first direction, and rotation of the second control shaft shifts the workpiece support in a second direction. A lead screw is disposed parallel to the control shaft, and shifts the workpiece support along the lead screw upon rotation of the same.
