Abstract This study deals with the various work operations at single-stroke presses (feeding the strip into the press, positioning, engaging the ram stroke, removal and storage of the blank), continuous stroke presses (preparation of strip, guiding of strip, ejection of scrap) and transfer presses (starting, use of controls, supervision of automatic operation). It was completed by environmental studies (noise, lighting, thermal environment). The findings led to conclusions for the construction, layout and organisation of the new workshop. Definition of the working spaces necessary, and the arrangements to be made.
