Abstract:
CAM (20) sets an evaluation region in an adjacent plane to a target plane; calculates the position of the extremity of the product profile in the axial direction within the evaluation region; sets a first line segment passing through the position of the extremity and extending orthogonally to the axis in the target plane; locates a processing area in the range surrounded by the first line segment, a second line segment, and the product profile, the second line segment extending in the axial direction from an end of the first line segment to the product profile; allocates a trajectory for laser beam cutting to form a notch or a hole in the processing area; and allocates a trajectory for laser beam cutting to cut the material along the product profile. This can normally perform even cut-off processing of the material.
Abstract:
To obtain a laser joining structure and a laser joining method that can suppress a decrease in strength or rigidity of a third plate that is disposed at an interval apart from at least two metal plates. A laser joining structure has at least two metal plates whose superposed region, at which the at least two metal plates are superposed with one another, is joined by laser welded portions at two or more places, and a third plate that is disposed at an interval apart from the superposed region. A through-portion, that passes-through the third plate and through which laser light is irradiated onto the superposed region and that is of a number that is less than a number of the laser welded portions, is formed in the third plate.
Abstract:
A method of processing long product on a numerical control machine including a gantry, a cutting bed, and a gantry holding a cutting torch, includes the steps of moving the gantry over a stationary long product on the cutting bed while cutting the long product with the cutting torch to process the long product. The cutting torch is capable of moving in at least the X-, Y-, and Z-directions relative to an arbitrary coordinate system defining the dimensions of the long product.
Abstract:
The invention is a beam (1-1, 2-1, 3-1) that comprises at least three web plates (1-2, 1-4, 1-6, 2-2, 2-4, 2-6, 3-2, 3-4, 3-6) that are connected to a bottom flange (1-10, 1-12, 2-10, 2-12, 3-10, 3-12) and top flange (1-10, 1-12, 2-10, 2-12, 3-10, 3-12).
Abstract:
A method and related apparatus for precision deploy-attaching beam-mount structure (38) to the outside of an elongate column (32) at plural, defined attachment sites that are distributed and spaced along the length of the column (32). The method involves (a) preparing an elongate column (32) to act as a travel way for a carriage (62) which is designed to transport and deploy beam-mount structure (38), shifting such a carriage (62) progressively along the column (32) from defined attachment site to defined attachment site and at each site, deploy-attaching from the carriage (62) to the column (32) the carriage-carried beam-mount structure (38).
Abstract:
Eine Zuführvorrichtung (4) für stangen- oder stabartige Werkstücke (2) weist eine Erfassungseinrichtung (33) zur Erfassung wenigstens eines Endes und/oder der Länge eines in einer Warteposition anordenbaren Werkstücks (2) sowie eine Werkstückhalterung (11) auf. Die Werkstückhalterung (11) ist mit dem daran festgelegten Werkstück (2) mit einer Zuführbewegung bewegbar. Die Erfassungseinrichtung (33) ist mit der Werkstückhalterung (11) bewegungsverbunden. Unter Erfassen wenigstens eines Endes und/oder der Länge des in der Warteposition angeordneten Werkstücks (2) sind die Werkstückhalterung (11) und die Erfassungseinrichtung (33) gemeinschaftlich mit einer Erfassungsbewegung längs des in der Warteposition angeordneten Werkstücks (2) bewegbar. Eine maschinelle Anordnung (1) umfasst eine Zuführvorrichtung (4) der vorstehend beschriebenen Art.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for cutting workpieces (W), in particular elongated workpieces (W), such as tubular members and beams. The apparatus comprises a support (1) for supporting the workpiece, a frame (3) and a circular guide on the frame, on which a carrier (13) is mounted. The carrier is provided with a controllable driving mechanism, wherein said carrier (13) and said support (1) are so positioned relative to each other that the workpiece extends through the guide during the cutting operation. A cutting element (11) is connected to said carrier. A control unit (8) controls the carrier. The cutting element (11) is connected to the carrier (13) via a robot arm (12), which is mounted on the carrier, whereas the control unit (8) is furthermore arranged for controlling the robot arm (12). The invention furthermore relates to a method for cutting workpieces.
