Abstract
A device for cleaning supporting strips of workpiece supports includes a motor feed drive assembly having a feed drive motor and a feed member. The feed member is configured to engage the supporting strip and to be driven by the feed drive motor to provide relative motion between the feed member and the supporting strip along a longitudinal direction of the supporting strip.
Claims20
A device for cleaning supporting strips of workpiece supports for a machine for thermal cutting of workpieces, the device comprising:
- a motor feed drive assembly comprising
- a feed drive motor and
- a feed member, the feed member being configured to engage the supporting strip and to be driven by the feed drive motor to apply a feed force to provide relative motion between the feed member and the supporting strip along a longitudinal direction of the supporting strip, wherein at least a substantial proportion of the feed force applied by the feed member is generated not by an operator of the device, but by the feed drive motor and wherein the feed member forms a cleaning member configured to remove deposits that have formed on the supporting strip during a thermal workpiece cutting process.
