20140332654 | Movement Unit for a Machine Tool and Machine Tool with such a Movement Unit - A movement unit for a machine tool comprises a supporting structure movable in a first direction for supporting a functional unit of the machine tool, with two longitudinal guides extending in the first direction which are offset relative to one another in a transverse second direction. A guide unit is mounted on each longitudinal guide to be relatively movable in the first direction and not the second direction. A bearing structure connects the supporting structure to one of the guide units to be not relatively movable in the first direction and movable in the second direction. The bearing structure comprises a bearing receptacle having a receptacle wall extending in the second direction, and a bearing projection which engages the bearing receptacle. The bearing projection and the receptacle wall are supported against one another to prevent their relative motion in the first direction and are movable in the second direction. | 11-13-2014 |
20140202972 | Profile carriers and related methods - A profile carrier includes a base profile of metal and a reinforcement member of fiber-reinforced plastic material that reinforces the base profile. The reinforcement member and the base profile are connected to each other by at least one wall-side positive-locking element that is provided on a profile wall of the base profile and that extends in a transverse direction of the profile wall. The at least one wall-side positive-locking element and the reinforcement member engage one inside of the other in the transverse direction of the profile wall with a positive-locking connection between the reinforcement member and the base profile formed substantially parallel to the profile wall. | 07-24-2014 |
20140112744 | Device for Handling Workpieces, in Particular Processing Products of a Cutting Metal Sheet Processing Operation, and Mechanical Arrangements having such a Device - Devices and methods for handling workpieces, in particular workpieces in the form of processing products of a metal sheet processing operation, are described. The devices include one or more retention members that are movably supported by a retention member bearing and a transverse guide device. If the transverse guide device is moved relative to the retention member along a lifting axis out of a non-operative lifting position into an operative lifting position or out of an operative lifting position into a non-operative lifting position on a fixed retention member bearing, the retention member is thereby moved from a non-operative position into an operative position or out of an operative position into a non-operative position. In the operative position, the retention member can engage behind an edge of a workpiece, but cannot do so in the non-operative position. By means of a drive motor, the retention member moved into the operative position can be moved with a lifting movement along the lifting axis together with the retention member bearing and the transverse guide device which is moved into the operative lifting position. | 04-24-2014 |
20130298739 | Separating Processed Sheet Products - Separating and/or sorting processed workpieces cut from a metal sheet, and the remnant surrounding the workpiece, is performed by holding the workpieces and remnant in a co-planar state after processing, moving the held workpieces and remnant away from a processing area, and then, with the workpiece and remnant still held, moving the workpiece and remnant relative to one another with a separating movement perpendicular to the workpiece plane, to such an extent that the workpiece is displaced outside the remnant. | 11-14-2013 |
20120100974 | Sheet Metal Processing Systems and Related Devices and Methods - In some aspects, a sheet metal processing system includes a machine tool with a processing station at which metal sheets can be processed by a processing tool, a tool carrier for receiving a processing tool, a transfer device by which the processing tool can be moved to or from the tool carrier, and a tool change apparatus which, due to a controlled positioning movement, can be arranged in a tool change position. The processing tool is exchangeable between the tool carrier and the transfer device by the tool change apparatus. The positioning movement is controllable on the basis of a position of the transfer device and/or a position of the tool carrier. | 04-26-2012 |
20090308851 | DEVICE FOR LASER MACHINING - Devices for laser machining include a machining head for directing laser light towards a workpiece, the laser light being emitted from a laser light source and directed along an optical beam path and the machining head including one or more focusing optics that are arranged in the optical beam path, a collimator including one or more collimating optics that are arranged in the optical beam path in front of the focusing optics and the collimator having an axis that extends parallel to the main direction of the laser light at the collimating optics, one or more deflecting optics arranged in the optical beam path between the collimating optics and the focusing optics, the deflecting optics configured to deflect the laser light emerging from the collimating optics towards the focusing optics, wherein the machining head is adjustable relative to the collimator along a z-axis, and the axis of the collimator extends under an angle to the z-axis. | 12-17-2009 |
20090184097 | WORKPIECE SUPPORT CLEANING - A mechanical apparatus maintains and/or cleans support strips of a workpiece support that forms a support plane for supporting workpieces. The mechanical apparatus includes a transport device for moving the workpiece support along a transport axis X and a service device that has a tool for processing the support strips. The service device is movable by means of a mechanical movement unit along a movement axis Y that is arranged at an angle relative to the transport axis X and/or along a movement axis Z that is arranged at an angle relative to the transport axis X and that is different from the movement axis Y, with the movement of the workpiece support along the transport axis X and the movement of the service device along the movement axis Y and/or along the movement axis Z being controllable in a coordinated manner by means of a control unit. | 07-23-2009 |
20090107206 | ARRANGEMENT FOR PROCESSING SHEET METAL - A mechanical arrangement for processing sheet metal includes a sheet metal processing device, a transport device configured to position a sheet metal workpiece relative to the sheet metal processing device, the transport device including at least one workpiece carrier that is movable along a transport path that extends along a first transport line and a second transport line, and at least two X-guides and at least two Y-guides, the X-guides arranged parallel with the first transport line and the Y-guides arranged parallel with the second transport line. The at least two X-guides and the at least two Y-guides are configured to be coupled to each other by a transfer device to form a transport course, the workpiece carrier circulates along the X-guides and the Y-guides, and the transfer device is configured to move the workpiece carrier from one of the X-guides to one of the Y-guides. | 04-30-2009 |
20080217504 | Mechanical Arrangement for Processing Plate-like Workpieces - A mechanical arrangement is provided for processing plate-like workpieces, especially metal sheets. The mechanical arrangement includes a processing device and a handling apparatus. A support structure of the handling apparatus has a base support structure and a secondary support structure which is supported on the base support structure so as to be movable relative thereto and which is provided with a holding device for processed products. | 09-11-2008 |
