Abstract
Disclosed is a cutting machine and a method for controlling a cutting machine with a retrieval of a cutting job for processing an object on a working surface of the cutting machine with a cutting device, a defining of a cutting path based on the cutting job, a continuous retrieval of position data, and a guidance based on the position data, of the cutting device along the cutting path for processing, in particular cutting, the object, characterized by a temperature compensation functionality with continuous retrieval of temperature data from one or more temperature sensors, and using the temperature data for defining the cutting path and/or for adjusting the cutting path.
Claims8
A cutting machine comprising:
- a working surface configured to accommodate at least one object to be cut, wherein the object comprises at least one of sheets of paper, cardboard, foams, plastic films, cloths, fiber fabrics, or leather;
- a gantry travel system arranged above the working surface and comprising a beam and a working group;
- and
- a computer unit comprising a processor for controlling the cutting machine,
- wherein:
- the working group comprises the cutting device and is movable along at least one guide rail of the beam in a first direction,
- the beam is movable in a second direction, wherein the beam comprises a machine base body made of a first material, and the guide rail is made of a second material, wherein the first material and the second material have different coefficients of linear expansion,
- one or more temperature sensors are attached to the beam along the first direction, wherein the one or more temperature sensors are mounted between the guide rail and the machine base body, wherein the guide rail is fastened to the machine base body by fasteners, and the temperature sensors are attached to the fasteners, and
- the computer unit is designed to receive temperature data from the temperature sensors in real time.
