  • Publication number: 20150290749
    Abstract: A thermal cutting system includes a thermal cutting machine, a work lifting device and a component carry device. The thermal cutting machine includes a work support table including work support sections that support a sheet material workpiece from below and have a pin support shape or a serrated shape. The thermal cutting machine thermally cuts a component part from the sheet material workpiece then placed on the work support table. The work lifting device lifts the sheet material workpiece, which has been thermally cut, from the work support table. The component part carry device picks up the component part from the sheet material workpiece, which has been lifted by the work lifting device, and then carries it to the outside of the cutting machine.
