This invention relates to a device for machining the corner area (1) of frames welded together out of profiled pieces (2, 3) such as, for instance, window or door frames, comprising at least one machining tool (4, 5, 6) that can be moved by means of a tool carrier (7) into the appropriate machining position at the corner area (1) of the frame along an axis (y) extending diagonally to the frame corner (3) and along an axis (z) perpendicular thereto. In order to allow machining of the corner area of a window or door frame as well as machining of the profile section itself, it is proposed according to the invention that the tool carrier (7) can move another tool carrier (8) arranged laterally thereto for at least one machining tool (9) configured for machining the profile section (2, 3), whereby the second tool carrier can be moved at least along an axis (x) extending at an angle α relative to the axis (y) in the diagonal direction of the frame corner (1).
A device for machining a corner area of a frame welded together out of profiled pieces, comprising at least one machining tool that can be moved by means of a first tool carrier into an appropriate machining position at the corner area of the frame, which first tool carrier is guided along at least one linear axis (X or Y) extending parallel to a horizontal clamping plane of the frame, and which first tool carrier is guided along a linear axis (Z) perpendicular thereto, wherein a second tool carrier having at least one further machining tool configured for machining one of the profiled pieces is attached to the first tool carrier via an arm extending from the first tool carrier such that the second tool carrier is laterally spaced with respect to the first tool carrier, wherein the first tool carrier can move the second tool carrier, and wherein the second tool carrier can be moved via a drive along at least another horizontal linear axis (p) extending at an angle (α) of about 45 degrees relative to the at least one axis along which the first tool carrier is guided, which at least one axis (y or x) extends in a diagonal direction of the frame.
