A machine (12) for cutting slabs, comprises a workpiece support bench (14) adapted to support at least one slab, and cutting means for automated cutting of the slab on the bench. The cutting means comprise two lateral support structures (16, 18). A first beam (20) is adapted to move along said lateral support structures (16, 18). The first beam (20) is adapted to slide on the lateral support structures (16, 18) via its ends (22, 24) and guiding means (25, 26) provided on the lateral support structures (16, 18). The first beam (20) is provided with a first carriage (28) adapted to be moved along the first beam (20). A first sleeve (30) adapted to be moved towards or away from the workpiece support bench (14) is provided on the first carriage (28). A first machining head (32) comprising a first cutting spindle (34) is provided on the first sleeve (30). A second beam (201) is adapted to move along the lateral support structures (16, 18). The second beam (201) is adapted to slide on the lateral support structures (16, 18) via its ends (221, 241) and guiding means (26) provided on the lateral support structures (16, 18), independently of the first beam (20). The second beam (201) is provided with a second carriage (281) which is adapted to be moved along the second beam (201). A second sleeve (301) adapted to be moved towards or away from the workpiece support bench (14) is provided on the second carriage (281). A second machining head (321) comprising a second cutting spindle (341) is provided on the second sleeve (301). At least either one of the first head (32) and the second head (321) is provided with a gripping device (42, 421) for the slabs or parts thereof.
Machine (12) for cutting slabs, comprising a workpiece support bench (14) adapted to support at least one slab, and cutting means for automated cutting of the slab on the bench,
Machine according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least either one of the first cutting spindle (34) and second cutting spindle (341) is provided with a protection element (40, 401) provided with a gripping device (42, 421).
Machine according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that both the first cutting spindle (34) and the second cutting spindle (341) are provided with a protection element (40, 401) provided with a gripping device (42, 421).
Machine according to the preceding claim, characterized in that said swivel gripping elements (50, 52;
Machine according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the gripping device is of the sucker type.
Machine according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one of the machining heads (32, 321) comprises means for rotation of the cutting spindles (34, 341) about an axis (46, 461) substantially parallel to the plane in which the workpiece support bench lies.
Machine according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the two cutting spindles (34, 341) are rotatable about their vertical axis.
Machine according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the workpiece support bench (14) is adapted to rotate.
Machine according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the two cutting spindles (34 and 341) are mounted projecting on the respective beam (20, 201) both towards the inside of the machine (12).
Machine according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that both the sleeves (30, 301) are arranged on the inner side of the machine (12), so as to face each other.
Machine according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it comprises a programmable control unit adapted to manage the movement axes of the machine and adapted to manage a simultaneous movement of the spindles and the at least one gripping device.
