A method to remove pieces (14) cut off from bar-shaped workpiece material (5) by a cutting machine (1) is provided as well as an apparatus to carry out this process, wherein the piece (14) of the material (5) to be cut lies on a machine table (7) during cutting behind the cutting plane (8) in the direction of feed (9) of the material (5), is gripped between gripping jaws (12, 13) from behind the cutting plane (8) only. At the end of the cut, the cut off piece (14) is moved away from the cutting plane (8) by the gripping jaws (12, 13) in the material feed direction (9) and is tilted about an axis perpendicular to the material feed direction (9) such that its most recently cut surface is essentially horizontal and directed downward and that the piece (14) is then discharged by the gripping jaws (12, 13) by means of an essentially vertical motion downward onto an offload table (21).
A method to remove pieces cut off from bar-shaped workpiece material using a cutting machine, wherein a piece of the material to be cut off, lying on a machine table during the cut behind a cutting plane in a direction of material feed, is gripped between gripping jaws from behind the cutting plane only, and
An apparatus to remove pieces cut off from bar-shaped workpiece material using a cutting machine, wherein the piece of the material to be cut off lies on a machine table during the cut behind a cutting plane in a direction of material feed, the apparatus comprising at least two gripping jaws that grip the cut piece in a first position from behind the cutting plane only, said jaws opening and closing perpendicular to the material feed direction, at the end of the cut, the gripping jaws (12, 13) being mounted for movement away from the cutting plane (8) along a guide track (28, 29) in the material feed direction (9) and being tiltable about an axis that is perpendicular to the material feed direction (9) in such a way that a most recently cut surface of the cut piece (14) can be discharged onto an offload table (21) by opening the gripping jaws (12, 13), and the gripping jaws (12, 13) being mounted for return movement along the guide track (28, 29) to the first position next to the cutting plane (8) to grip the next material piece (14) to be cut off.
