Abstract
In a method for cutting at least one workpiece section (1), in particular aluminum section, which may have been produced in an extrusion press, using a sawing device (19) which, on a frame (5), is displaced along an X-axis above a conveyor device (2) for workpiece sections (1), a saw (13) is displaced with respect to the sawing device (19, 25) in an X-direction and/or Y-direction above the conveyor device (2) for workpiece sections (1), in order to cut at least one workpiece section (1), at least one saw bench (15) is moved into a conveyor plane (20) of the conveyor device (2) for workpiece sections (1), the at least one workpiece section (1) then being moved in via the at least one saw bench (15) and then being cut through.
Claims13
A method for cutting at least one workpiece, which comprises:
- providing a conveyor device for at least one workpiece;
- providing a sawing device on a frame adjacent said conveyor device and displacing said sawing device along an X direction above and substantially parallel to said conveyor device;
- providing a saw for said workpiece above said conveyor device and displacing said saw with respect to the sawing device in at least one of said X direction and a Y direction essentially perpendicular to said X direction;
- moving at least one saw bench into a conveyor plane of the conveyor device in order to cut said workpiece, wherein said workpiece is moved into the conveyor plane via said at least one saw bench for cutting via said saw;
- applying pressure to the workpiece and clamping said workpiece against the saw bench via at least one blank holder before the workpiece is cut;
- including the step of providing conveyor roller elements below the saw bench driven by means of a drive, lowering the saw bench into the conveyor device and lowering the conveyor roller elements below the saw bench, and conveying the workpiece over the saw bench;
- wherein by lowering the saw bench into the conveyor device the drive of the lowered conveyor roller elements is decoupled in this area.
