摘要 An apparatus opens clamping jaws on workholders mounted on a turret and then unloads articles held by resilient clamps on the workholder. A pair of open jaws are moved about an article held in a workholder and then closed while spring members bear against the article urging it against inner faces of the jaws. The jaws are withdrawn and opened to release the article into a bin which has a plurality of compartments and is indexed in synchronism with the turret so that articles removed from a particular workholder are always delivered to the same compartment of the receiving bin.
