Patent ID: 8074975

Claim:
A mechanical arrangement for processing plate-like workpieces, comprising: a processing device for processing workpieces; and a handling apparatus configured to remove processed products that have been produced at the processing device from the processing device, the handling apparatus comprising a support structure, having a base support structure with a first holding device for processed products, and a secondary support structure with a second holding device for processed products, wherein the secondary support structure is supported on the base support structure so that the secondary support structure is movable relative to the base support structure, wherein the second holding device for processed products provided on the secondary support structure comprises a plurality of holding device subunits that are provided on the secondary support structure, wherein the holding device subunits provided on the secondary support structure are configured to be attached to at least one processed product to be taken away from the processing device, are positionable with respect to the processing device by movement of the secondary support structure relative to the base support structure and, are configured to be selectively arranged on the secondary support structure in different positions parallel to a fixing plane for processed products defined at the holding device subunits, and wherein both of the first and second holding devices are movable in a removal direction with the processed product(s) attached thereto.
