Abstract
A work table for an automatic cutting installation for cutting materials by means of non-mechanical cutting tools has a metallic cutting base which is formed of a plurality of metal strips. Edges of the metal strips form the support surface for the workpiece. Undulating metal strips may be arranged alternately against non-undulating metal strips. Alternatively, metal strips may be used that are bent into the form of a rectangular undulation and have undulation valleys and undulation ridges which are of different length. The undulation valleys and undulation ridges lie in each case opposite each other and offset, forming a corner-shaped space. The metal strips extend over the complete width of the work table and their top-to-bottom width is selected to provide sufficient stability for the material to be cut which rests thereon. Portions of the metal strips are bonded or soldered to each other.
