An apparatus for introducing a parting agent into a hollow workpiece before or during processing of the hollow workpiece by using a laser processing machine, includes an introduction section with a nozzle for dispensing the parting agent and a centering element which is disposed on the introduction section and serves for centering the introduction section within the hollow workpiece. A loading station, a system and a method are also provided.

Apparatus for introducing a parting agent into a hollow workpiece, loading station, system and method

A laser tube cutting machine for the cutting processing of tubes with a workpiece moving device, which receives the tube and moves it relative to a push-through device supporting the tube, which is guided by clamping jaws of the push-through device. A laser machining device is associated with the push-through device and has a processing head which directs a laser beam emerging from the processing head onto the tube. A tool of a processing device mechanical processes the tube, which tool is moveable in at least one direction of movement relative to the tube. At least one counterholder is movable into a working position for abutting against the tube, which counterholder acts in the opposite direction to the direction of application of force of the tool.

The disclosure relates to systems and methods for machine-cutting workpieces in plate form or bar form and also to a machine tool, with a laser machining device, and a workpiece support, by which a workpiece to be machined in the laser machining device is received, and with a workpiece moving device, by which the workpiece to be machined is held and moved in relation to the laser machining device, wherein with a machining head a laser beam is directed onto the workpiece to be machined and a clearance or recess is introduced into the workpiece and the clearance is machined with a flow drill and widened to a final size of a borehole.

Methods and machine tools for machine-cutting workpieces in plate form or bar form

A laser processing machine has a processing area and a laser processing device. A workpiece can be processed by the laser processing device at a processing location via emission of laser radiation to generate a processing product. An environment of the processing area is shielded against the laser radiation by a protective housing. The processing product can be moved in a discharge direction to pass a boundary of the protective housing that is flexible in the discharge direction. A product rest, arranged below the processing location in the vertical direction and extending in the discharge direction, functions to store the processing product. In the vertical direction below the processing location, the protective housing extends in the discharge direction, forming an extension with which the protective housing extends over the product rest. The boundary limits the extension in the discharge direction and is arranged above the product rest.
