An apparatus for transferring workpieces between successive die stations in a stamping press, including an elongated bar having a plurality of spaced workpiece engaging means for engaging workpieces at successive die stations. The apparatus comprises motive means, a drive frame member coupled to the motive means and laterally and longitudinally propelled by the motive means, cam follower means propelled by the drive frame member. Cam plate means is coupled to the bar, having a first cam slot means and a second cam slot means, wherein the first cam slot means receive the cam follower means. The cam plate means is propelled both horizontally and vertically by the cam follower means. Cam stop means is disposed in the second cam slot means to prevent the cam plate means from motion in the horizontal direction during motion in the vertical direction and to prevent the cam plate means from motion in the vertical direction during motion in the horizontal direction. Motion transmitting means is coupled to the drive frame member and disposed adjacent to the cam plate means, whereby the motion transmitting means drive the cam plate means longitudinally when propelled by the drive frame member.
