摘要: A system (40) is provided for processing a workpiece (44). The system (40) includes a support surface (48) for supporting the workpiece (44) and defining a processing path (P) along which the workpiece (44) may travel relative to the system (40). The system (40) includes at least one tool (64a, 64b, 64c) for performing a process on the workpiece (44) that is movable in a work zone (WZ) along a predetermined length (L) of the workpiece (44) in a direction along the processing path (P). The system (40) includes a movable clamp assembly (80) having opposing clamping pads (84, 88) movable into and out of the work zone (WZ) along the processing path (P) to clamp a portion of the workpiece (44) located in the work zone (WZ) prior to the at least one tool (64a, 64b, 64c) performing a process on the workpiece (44).

摘要: A system (40) is provided for processing a workpiece. The system (40) includes a support surface (48) for supporting a workpiece and includes an automatic tool changer (64) having a first tool storage bay (80) for removably storing a drill tool therein and having a second tool storage bay (80) for removably storing a plasma torch tool therein. The system (40) includes at least one drill spindle (60) movable with respect to a surface of a workpiece. The drill spindle (60) and the automatic tool changer (64) are movable relative to one another and configured to transfer between them a drill tool stored in the first tool storage bay (80) and a plasma torch tool stored in the second tool storage bay (80).
