    摘要: A 3D-cutter and a method for controlling a 3D-cutter are disclosed. The 3D-cutter includes a tiltable torch which is able to produce a cutting beam and a conveyor having a conveyor support surface with gap extending in Y-direction. The tiltable torch is moveable in both X-direction and Y-direction as well as Z-direction. Conventionally, the X-position of the entrance point or exit point of the beam in the sheet blank is kept constant relative to the gap, namely centrally between the upstream and the downstream gap edges and the sheet blank is moved back and forth in X-direction by the conveyor to form 3-dimensionally shaped bevel cuts. The X-position of the entrance point or exit point of the beam in the sheet blank may be varied relative to the gap. Thus, smaller workpieces may be produced.

    摘要: A sheet processing machine has a stationary frame and includes a transport table for transporting and supporting a sheet material. The transport table includes a roller conveyor including a plurality of rollers and a gap between two of the plurality of rollers. The machine further includes a processing tool for processing the sheet material at a first side of the sheet material, as well as a marking tool for marking the sheet material at a second side of the sheet material, opposite the first side. The machine additionally has an XY-guide assembly arranged in or at the gap and connecting the marking tool to the stationary frame and enabling a movement of the marking tool with respect to the stationary frame. The movement of the marking tool with respect to the stationary frame is independently controllable relative to a movement of the processing tool with respect to the stationary frame.
