A mechanical arrangement (2) for separating workpiece parts (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) of a workpiece part
assembly (1) produced by separating a plate-like workpiece comprises a separating unit (5), a parts storage unit, and a
discharge unit (7) arranged between the separating unit (5) and the parts storage unit. By means of the separating unit (5), a workpiece part (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) can be separated from the composite part (14) by destroying a residual connection between the workpiece part (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) and a composite part (14) of the workpiece part
assembly (1). The opening cross-section of an ejection opening (9) of the ejection unit (7) is adapted to a planar extent of the workpiece part (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) detached from the composite remainder (14), such that the detached workpiece part (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) lies within the opening cross-section of the ejection opening (9) in the perpendicular projection onto the ejection opening (9).The workpiece
assembly (1) and the
discharge opening (9) of the
discharge unit (7) can be positioned relative to each other in such a way that, after the workpiece part (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) has been detached from the assembly remnant (14), the discharge opening (9) can be passed from the detached workpiece part (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d), but not from the assembly remnant (14) to the parts
storage area.
