Abstract
Machine (1) for processing slabs (L) comprising a device (14) for transporting the slabs (L) between two zones, at least one of which is a machining zone along a feeding direction (X), means (16, 17) for supporting and clamping the slabs during machining, said means being designed to clamp the slabs (L) in a machining position, at least one tool (4) for machining the slabs which is mounted on a spindle, the at least one tool (4) being operative in the machining zone. The machine (1) comprises means (50) for moving the transporting device (14), configured to move the transporting device (14) from a working position corresponding substantially to the position for machining the slabs (L) into a position spaced at least vertically from the working position, and vice versa; the transporting device (14) is a conveyor belt.
Claims17
A machine for processing slabs, comprising:
- a device for transporting the slabs between two zones, at least one of which is a machining zone along a feeding direction;
- means for supporting and clamping the slabs, designed to clamp the slabs in a machining position;
- at least one tool for machining the slabs, mounted on a spindle, said at least one tool being operative in the machining zone;
- and
- means for moving said device, configured to move said device from a working position corresponding substantially to said machining position for machining the slabs into a position spaced at least vertically from said working position, and vice versa;
- wherein said device comprises a conveyor belt;
- and
- wherein said means for moving are configured to move said conveyor belt from a raised working position corresponding substantially to said machining position for machining the slabs into a lowered position spaced from said raised working position, and vice versa;
- and
- wherein in the machining position the slab is supported by the supporting and clamping means.
