Abstract: In a method for robot-controlled cutting of workpieces to be joined by laser radiation, a first workpiece is arranged in vicinity of a second workpiece in a first position. A laser is focused onto the first workpiece. A contour of the first workpiece is cut with the laser beam; this contour is to be assembled and joined with the second workpiece. During cutting, a first spacing of a focal point of the laser beam from the second workpiece is repeatedly determined in a distance direction that is identically oriented during cutting and is adjusted to a direction of assembling the first and second workpieces. During cutting, a second spacing of a processing point of the laser beam from the second workpiece is maintained at a constant value.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a handling device (12) that is used to guide an energy source (14), wherein the energy source that applies energy to a work piece (16, 18) is moved at a speed V inside a protective cabinet (22). To allow the energy source to be moved relative to a work piece, without inadmissible temperature increases occurring, it is proposed that the speed of the energy source (14) moved inside the chamber be established as the current speed Vakt, that the current speed Vakt of the energy source (14) be compared with a minimum speed Vmin that is dependent upon the power being emitted by the energy source, and that if the current speed should fall below the minimum speed Vmin at least the energy source (14) shall be switched off immediately or following expiration of an allowable period of time below this minimum speed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a monitoring and control device for monitoring a technical system having at least one portable and/or mobile and/or immobile device, and more specifically, a handling device that is a arranged in a protective device, and further including at least one preferably central or decentralized control unit and actuators connected thereto to carry out dangerous actions.

Abstract: A buckling arm robot for machining workpieces with laser radiation has at least a first axis, a second axis, a third axis, a fourth axis, and a fifth axis. A laser device is arranged in the second axis and configured to emit a laser beam. The laser beam emitted by the laser device is guided within the third, fourth, and fifth axes before striking a workpiece to be machined.
