Abstract
A laser beam machining system includes of a laser beam machine and a work conveying robot, wherein the laser beam machine has a table which is covered by a cover that is automatically opened/closed, and the robot runs on a rail provided above the table of the laser beam machine to feed work onto the table. The cover of the laser beam machine is opened only when work pieces are fed or removed and the cover is closed when work pieces are machined. The upper face of the table is completely open when the cover is opened so that handling by means of the robot may be easily executed.
Claims9
A laser beam machining system comprising:
- a laser beam machine having:
- a base,
- a gate shaped column provided above said base,
- a table driven underneath said column in an X-axis direction which is the longitudinal direction of said base,
- a machining head supported by said column and driven in a Y-axis direction which crosses at a right angle with said X-axis, and
- a cover for covering said table, said cover being slidable over an upper face of said table whereby said cover assumes an open position underneath said column;
- a rail provided above said table;
- and
- a conveying robot which runs along said rail.
A cover apparatus of a laser beam machine having a base with a rectangular planar shape, a table driven in an x-axis direction which is the longitudinal direction of the base, an openable cover for covering the table, a gate shaped column provided above the base, and a machining head supported by the column and driven in a y-axis direction which crosses at a right angle with the x-axis;
- wherein said cover apparatus has a guide rail mounted on said base, a sliding cover for covering the upper face of said table by being supported in a manner in which the sliding cover is slidable on the guide rail and is accommodated underneath said column in its "opened" position.
A cover apparatus of a laser beam machine that has a base with a rectangular planar shape, a table driven in an x-axis direction which is the longitudinal direction of the base, an openable cover for covering the table, a gate shaped column provided above the base, and a machining head supported by the column and driven in a y-axis direction which crosses at a right angle with the x-axis;
- wherein said cover apparatus has the following:
- a guide rail mounted on said base, a sliding cover for covering the upper face of said table by being supported in a manner in which the sliding cover is slidable on said guide rail and is accommodated underneath the column in its "opened" position, and a turning cover which is mounted on a frontal end portion of the base in a manner in which the turning cover is turnable by means of hinges and covers the upper face of the table by joining with the sliding cover in its "closed" position.
