Abstract
Abstract A conveyor for transferring of bars or similar objects has a plurality of units which are disposed parallel to one another in a substantially horizontal manner. Each one of the units comprises at least one stationary and one movable beam, the movable beams being driven by a planetary mechanism which causes an epicycloidal translatory movement of the movable beams.
