Description:

Abstract:

A transfer line for machining differential housings, in which the outer surface of the workpiece is clamped against angled locating surfaces in each work rest. The workpiece is rotated through 90.degree. and located against a work rest in a successive machining station which is oriented 90.degree. to the first mentioned work rest locating surfaces so that the same locating points on the workpiece are used for locating in the successive machining station despite the workpiece having been rotated to enable machining from a different angle.
