Abstract
A cutting table is provided for supporting flat metal plate to be processed, wherein the support table includes at least one module including: at least two longitudinal end plate members which extend along a longitudinal X axis and are spaced apart a transverse distance Y; and a plurality of spaced apart flat bar members (bar members) which are supported by the end plate members and which span distance Y between the end plate members; wherein the side end plate members and bar members of the module are oriented so that the plane of the end plate members and the bar members all have, in use, a vertical orientation; wherein furthermore in use, the bar members support a sacrificial interlocking grid assembly configured to support the plate to be machined.

A cutting table for supporting a flat metal plate to be processed, wherein the cutting table comprises:
- at least one module comprising:
- at least two longitudinal end plate members which extend along a longitudinal X axis and are spaced apart a transverse distance Y;
- and
- a plurality of spaced apart flat bar members which are supported by said end members and which span distance Y between said end members, said end members and flat bar members of the at least one module being oriented so that faces of said spaced apart flat bar members all have, in use, a vertical orientation;
- and
- a sacrificial interlocking grid assembly formed by a set of first cross slat members and a set of second slat cross members, the set of first cross slat members being interlocked with the set of second cross slat members, said sacrificial interlocking grid assembly supported on top of the spaced apart flat bar members and configured to support the flat metal plate to be processed.
A cutting table for supporting a flat metal plate to be processed, wherein the cutting table comprises:
- at least one module comprising:
- at least two longitudinal end members which extend along a first axis and are spaced apart a designated distance;
- and
- a plurality of spaced apart flat bar members which are supported by said longitudinal end members and span said designated distance between said longitudinal end members, said longitudinal end members and said spaced apart flat bar members of the module being oriented so that faces of said end members and said spaced apart flat bar members all have a vertical orientation;
- and
- a sacrificial interlocking grid assembly supported on top of the spaced apart flat bar members, said sacrificial interlocking grid assembly configured to support the flat metal plate to be processed.
