Cutting system, adjustable sorting apparatus and method thereof

A cutting system for sheets, comprising at least a cutting centre (L), a sorting apparatus (S) provided with handlers (1-4) for gripping pieces cut by said cutting centre and a transfer board (5), movable between an area where said handlers (1-4) operate and the inside of the cutting centre (L), apt to support said sheets,

• said cutting centre (L) comprising at least a cutting head (L1), which is mounted movable above said transfer board (5) and is provided with a distance detection sensor which detects distance data with respect to a sheet to be cut resting on said transfer board (5),
• said transfer board (5) comprising a resting grid (5c) which is partly worn by said cutting head (L1), and wherein
• said cutting centre (L) and said sorting apparatus (S) have respective first and second control logics, characterised in that
• data interface means are furthermore provided, between said first control logic of the cutting centre (L) and said second control logic of the sorting apparatus (S), by which said distance data, acquired by said distance detection sensor, are transferred and in that
• said second control logic has processing means
• for defining, periodically during operation cycles, an altitude map based on said distance data detected in a number of positions, and
• for controlling a gripping step of said handlers (1-4) based on said altitude map.
