Multilayer-type sheet processing apparatus

A multilayer-type sheet processing apparatus comprising a plurality of processing units, each of the plurality of processing units comprising:

• a first guide member extending in an X-direction;
• a first moving body arranged so as to be movable along the first guide member;
• a second guide member, which is supported to the first moving body and extends in a Y-direction orthogonal to the X-direction;
• a second moving body arranged so as to be movable along the second guide member;
• a Y-drive mechanism configured to drive the second moving body along the second guide member;
• and
• a work area arranged in a plane including the X-direction and the Y-direction,
• wherein the second moving body comprises a tool moveable towards and away from the work area and configured to form a processing line on a sheet arranged on the work area,
• wherein the plurality of processing units are stacked so that the work areas of the plurality of processing units overlap with each other in a direction perpendicular to the X-direction and the Y-direction,
• wherein the first moving body of at least one processing unit of the plurality of processing units is driven along the first guide member by an X-drive mechanism, and
• wherein the first moving body that is moved by the X-drive mechanism and the first moving body of another processing unit of the plurality of processing units comprising no X-drive mechanism are coupled to each other.
