Abstract: An apparatus includes a piece-supporting plane to support one or more worked pieces, and first and second gripping devices, respectively defining first and second gripping planes of a worked piece. The apparatus moves the first and the second gripping devices among: a picking position wherein the first or the second gripping device is configured to pick up a worked piece laid on the piece-supporting plane; an exchange position wherein the first gripping device and the second gripping device are mutually oriented such that the first and the second gripping planes of the worked piece are facing each other to allow transferring the worked piece from the first gripping device to the second gripping device, or vice versa; and a laying position, wherein the second gripping device or the first gripping device is configured to release the worked piece being transferred in the exchange position in a piece storage area.

Abstract: A machine (1) for machining slab materials (3) is described, comprising: a working plane (2) configured to support a slab material (3) to be machined; a first tool-holder electrospindle (11) associated to a respective supporting body (33), the first electrospindle (11) and the respective supporting body (33) being supported above said working plane (2) by a respective supporting equipment (12) perpendicularly with respect to the working plane (2) and configured to move the first electrospindle (11) and the respective supporting body (33) about a rotation axis (Z) perpendicular to the working plane (2); a moving apparatus (14) configured to move the equipment (12) in parallel to the working plane (2) and along directions (X, Y) perpendicular to one another; at least a second tool-holder electrospindle (45), rotationally and translationally integral with the first electrospindle (11), supported above the working plane (2) in parallel to the first electrospindle (11) by a respective supporting arm (47) slidably

Abstract: A machine for machining materials in blocks or slabs includes: a) a tool-holder unit displaceable above an external working surface, in a parallel and orthogonal directions with respect to the working surface; b) a manipulator unit which is coupled to the tool holder unit, and includes gripping means of a material in block or slab to be worked; wherein the gripping means are moveable between a first inoperative position, which is distal with respect to the working surface, and a second operative position, which is proximal with respect to the working surface. The gripping means are rotatable between the first inoperative position and the second operative position.

Abstract: A support apparatus of slab materials includes a support structure, defining a horizontal work plane of a slab; a plurality of first supporting and sliding rollers of the slab on a first horizontal lying plane and a plurality of second supporting and sliding rollers of the slab on a second horizontal lying plane beneath the first lying plane. The first supporting and sliding rollers and the second supporting and sliding rollers are movable along a vertical direction with respect to the support structure, to bring the first and second lying plane beneath the, or at the, work plane and to load or withdraw a slab onto/from the work plane.
