ABSTRACT The specification describes an apparatus for sequentially separating alternate layers of sheet-like work pieces from a single feed stack, including means for separating each top workpiece layer from the feed stack and means for transporting the separated top workpieces alternately to a first location and to a second location, the separating means including at least one differentiating head having a pair of rotatable elements, means for mounting the rotatable elements so that their axes of rotation are parallel and opposite to each other, needles mounted in the rotatable elements so as to protect exteriorly of the elements and in a direction away from the opposite rotatable element, means for selectively rotating at least one of the rotatable elements with respect to the other to engage and disengage the protecting needles of the rotated element with the top workpiece of the feed stack, depending on the direction of rotation, and for moving at least one rotatable element with respect to the other to decrease the spacing between the axes of rotation of the rotatable elements upon rotation of the rotatable element in a direction which engages its pro- jecting needles in the topmost workpiece whereby at least one edge of the topmost workpiece is curled upwardly and, upon movement of the rotated element toward the other element, the topmost workpiece is pulled away from the corresponding edge of the next underlying workpiece by the force of the engaged rotatable element needles to thereby separate the topmost workpiece from the stack.
