Abstract
The machine (1) has a receiving device (13) for clamping the workpiece (14) on one side. A laser optic (12) is movable NC-controlled in the three spatial coordinates x, y, and z for processing the workpiece (14). An additional slide (21) may be displaced longitudinally in a controlled way on the base (3) of the machine frame (2). The slide (21) has a carrier plate (29) having multiple attachment elements, arranged in a regular raster, for replaceable, removable attachment of at least one auxiliary device (37), e.g., a support element (39). In this way, the machine (1) is usable in manifold ways. The quality of the processing may be improved through improved positioning and support of the workpiece, and the clock frequency may be elevated.
Claims12
A machine tool for processing oblong workpieces (14), particularly tubes, flat profiles, and hollow profiles, using laser beams, a receiving device (13) for clamping the workpiece (14) on one side and, in the region of the laser beam processing, a slide (21), displaceable on guide rails (20) in the lengthwise direction of the machine tool (1), being provided, characterized in that an autonomously controllable drive (23) is provided on this at least one slide (21;
- 49), its power take-off (24) is provided with a geared wheel (25) and engages in a toothed rack (26) positioned in the lengthwise direction of the machine tool, and the slide (21;
- 49) is the carrier (29) of supports (39) and/or guides (44) or trays (46) and/or ejectors (51) and/or suction devices (40, 41), which support, guide, receive, and/or eject the workpiece (14) to be processed and/or the already processed workpiece (14′).
The machine tool for processing oblong workpieces (14) using laser beams, particularly tubes, flat profiles, and hollow profiles, a receiving device (13) for clamping the workpiece (14) on one side and, in the region of the laser beam processing, a slide (21), displaceable on guide rails (20) in the lengthwise direction of the machine tool (1), as well as a drive (23) for the lengthwise displacement of the slide (21) being provided, characterized in that the at least one slide (21;
- 49) has a carrier (29;
- 50) having multiple attachment elements (33, 34) for replaceable, removable attachment of at least one auxiliary device (37), particularly a support element (39), a centering element (44), a suction lance (40), a collector (46) for workpieces (14′) which have been cut to length, and/or an ejector (51).
