WORKPIECE TAKING-OUT APPARATUS AND TRANSFER PRESS MACHINE

To provide a workpiece taking-out apparatus configured to take out a cylindrical workpiece to a position more spaced apart from the lateral surface of a transfer press machine as compared to the conventional apparatuses, and a transfer press machine including such a workpiece taking-out apparatus.In a workpiece taking-out apparatus (40) of the present disclosure, a pair of arm parts (50) configured to clamp a cylindrical workpiece (90) extends from a pair of second movable bases (44) toward a bolster (16). By the pair of second movable bases (44) being shifted in a second horizontal direction H2 by a pair of open-close driving parts (52) relative to a pair of first movable bases (43), a pair of arm parts (50) opens and closes. The pair of first movable bases (43) is shifted by a ball screw mechanism (60) relative to a fixed base (41), to convey the cylindrical workpiece (90). That is, in the workpiece taking-out apparatus (40) of the present disclosure, a mechanism portion for causing the pair of arm parts (50) to open and close and to convey is provided as being spaced apart from the pair of arm parts (50).
