A mechanical device is used to change a laser nozzle of a nozzle mount of a laser processing machine. The mechanical device includes a nozzle magazine with at least one nozzle holder for storing a laser nozzle at a nozzle storage location, and a dirt collector. The nozzle holder is movable by means of a positioning device provided for that purpose or alternatively the dirt collector is movable by means of a positioning device provided for that purpose into a stand-by position defined on the mechanical device. The nozzle holder and the dirt collector can also be transferred to a position remote from the stand-by position with the respective positioning device.

Laser nozzle changing device

A mechanical device is used for mounting and/or dismounting a laser nozzle on and/or from a nozzle mount of a laser processing machine for processing workpieces, especially metal sheets. The mechanical device includes a nozzle magazine having a nozzle holder support on which a nozzle holder for a laser nozzle is supported. In addition, the mechanical device has a support positioning drive by means of which the nozzle holder support is positionable together with the nozzle holder in a support positioning direction. A lifting device of the mechanical device serves to position the nozzle holder, when positioned in the support positioning direction in a lifting stand-by position, relative to the nozzle holder support in a positioning lifting direction extending perpendicular to the support positioning direction.

A mechanical device is used to change a laser nozzle on a nozzle receiving member of a laser processing machine for processing workpieces. The mechanical device has a nozzle magazine having a nozzle holder carrier, and at least one nozzle holder for a laser nozzle being provided on the nozzle holder carrier. The mechanical device also includes a positioning drive and a change drive, both drives having a common drive motor. Between the drive motor on the one hand and the nozzle holder carrier and the nozzle holder on the other hand, there is provided a coupling that can be switched by means of a switching device between a supply state, in which a drive connection exists between the drive motor and the nozzle holder carrier, and a change state, in which a drive connection exists between the drive motor and the nozzle holder.
