Device for transferring a component between a first press and a second press arranged opposite to the first press, the device being arrangeable between the presses (102, 104) and comprising: a frame; a traversing unit with a first drive unit for moving the traversing unit with respect to the frame along a travel path in the direction of the first press and in the direction of the second press; characterized by a telescopic unit with - a base movable along a first travel path with respect to the traversing unit, - a support beam movable along a second travel path with respect to the base, - a sliding carriage for transferring the component, the sliding carriage comprising a receptacle for receiving and holding the component and being arranged so as to be movable along an edge of the support beam and being movable along a third travel path with respect to the support beam, wherein the sliding carriage is movable to an end of the support beam facing the first press, in order to be able to project, together with a portion of the support beam protruding beyond the base, into a tool space of the first press, and wherein the sliding carriage is movable to an end of the support beam facing the second press, in order to be able to project, together with a portion of the support beam protruding beyond the base, into a tool space of the second press, - a second drive unit and a transmission (561, 562, 563), the transmission (561, 562, 563) being formed to transmit a driving motion of the second drive unit to the base at a first transmission ratio, to the support beam at a second transmission ratio and to the sliding carriage at a third transmission ratio, in order to move the base along the first travel path, move the support beam along the second travel path and move the sliding carriage along the third travel path parallel to the travel path of the traversing unit in the direction of the first press and in the direction of the second press, wherein at least two of the transmission ratios differ from each other. a frame;
