A head support rest,is provided with machine bodies,being movable and drivable in a horizontal direction, being free to go up and down. One or more absorption means aggregates,are provided with the head support rest,, being free to move and position in a horizontal two-dimensional direction through a horizontal direction moving structure,and,. The absorption means aggregate,has a plurality of absorption means,provided such that absorption portions,are adjacent to one another. Absorption driving means,are connected with each of absorption means,. Then, a fine workpiece having complex shape can be also appropriately absorbed and carried.

A laser cutting machine includes a driving apparatus for moving a laser head axially. An inner sleeve having a converging lens is coupled to the laser head. An outer sleeve having a nozzle is supported to move relative to the inner sleeve. A braking mechanism is arranged between the inner and outer sleeves to selectively lock the outer sleeve to the inner sleeve. An actuator moves a catch to selectively engage the outer sleeve, which holds the outer sleeve at a predetermined position. The driving apparatus moves the laser head when the outer sleeve is held at the predetermined position and the outer sleeve is released from the inner sleeve by the braking mechanism. This moves the outer sleeve relative to the inner sleeve and automatically adjusts the distance between the converging lens and the nozzle. This permits automation of a focal point position adjustment method.

A first drive means is provided to an upper turret and a lower turret in such a manner as that the upper turret and lower turret can be synchronously rotated through a turret drive system, and a second drive means is provided to an upper metallic mold and a lower metallic mold in such a manner as that the upper and the lower metallic molds can be synchronously rotated within the respective turrets through a metallic mold drive system, and the metallic mold drive system is connected to the turret drive system through a differential gear mechanism. And, when the turrets are positioned, the second drive means is held stopped and the metallic molds each holding its own dividing angle are rotated within the respective turrets by the first drive means through the differential gear mechanism. The dividing of the angles for the respective metallic molds is carried out through the differential gear mechanism by the second drive means while maintaining the turrets positioned and stopped.
