The chuck for positioning and holding a pipe at any rotational angle position around the axial center, is provided with the three dimensional linear processing machine. When the machining program PRO is composed, a plurality of the shape patterns KPT classified machining modes concerning pipes by machining shape is displayed on the display Furthermore, dimensional data item concerning selected shape pattern is displayed on the display Then, the machining program PRO is composed on the basis of the input code parameter CP and the selected shape pattern KPT. Besides, shift quantity TMz and TMy are measured when the pipe to be machined is installed on the chuck and on the basis of this, the machining program PRO is amended and executed.

Three dimensional linear processing machine and a method of composing and controlling machining program in the three dimensional linear processing machine

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.

Laser cutting machine

Laser machining system including a laser machine, a stack yard for storing pallets, a stacker crane for transferring pallets. Standard pallets and multi-pallets are stored in the stack yard. The standard pallet has a pallet base and plates are piled on the pallet base directly. The multi-pallet comprises a pallet base and pallet components stacked on the pallet base. Each pallet has pallet components which each store a single plate. A transfer device is provided for loading a blank plate (pre-worked plate) to the laser machine and unloading a post-worked plate from the laser machine. Returning devices are provided for returning post-worked plates to the stack yard.

Various kinds of raw workpieces are stocked in a stocker. A predetermined kind of the workpiece is selected from the stocker with a lifter so as to move to a loading station. The workpiece is held with a vacuum pad of a loader of a workpiece carrying unit. The workpiece carrying unit is moved to a position adajacent to a laser processing machine so as to make the workpiece carrying unit stood by at the position. When machining finishes in the laser processing machine, a supporting unit like a comb of an unloader of the workpiece carrying unit is inserted below the machined workpiece, put on the table of the laser processing machine. The supporting unit is lifted up so as to pick the workpiece up out of the table. The raw workpiece is immediately put on the table with the loader. The workpiece carrying unit is moved to the unloading station. The machined workpiece is put on rollers of the unloading station with the unloader. The rollers are moved so as to drop the machined workpiece on the pallet.

Laser machining cell

A laser beam machining system includes of a laser beam machine and a work conveying robot, wherein the laser beam machine has a table which is covered by a cover that is automatically opened/closed, and the robot runs on a rail provided above the table of the laser beam machine to feed work onto the table. The cover of the laser beam machine is opened only when work pieces are fed or removed and the cover is closed when work pieces are machined. The upper face of the table is completely open when the cover is opened so that handling by means of the robot may be easily executed.

Laser beam machining system and laser beam machine cover

A laser beam machine comprises stationary guide means, a first table movably mounted on the stationary guide means for moving between two positions, a movable guide means liftably disposed, and a second table movably mounted on the movable guide means for movement between the two positions. The tables are exchanged with each other by lifting the movable guide means to move the first and second tables between the two positions.
