  • Publication number: 20220347790
    Abstract: A method for inspecting and post-processing a workpiece having a laser-cut, closed inner contour, in which method a gripper moves a workpiece picked up in a defined manner, between a previously stored pre-defined pick-up position AP and a pre-defined first gripper position GP1, delivering the workpiece to an inspection unit, and if post-processing is required, a pre-defined second gripper position GP2, delivering the workpiece to an ejector unit.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 10474123
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for detecting and correcting a spatial position of a workpiece held in a positioning device, wherein a machining head having at least one sensor and position sensor is fed into at least one measuring position. Contactless sensing of an actual position of a measuring point of the workpiece is carried out at the measuring position using the machining head and the sensed actual position is compared with an expected nominal position and deviation values between the actual position and the nominal position are ascertained. The ascertained deviation values are compared with an admissible tolerance value and the machining head is fed to a contour when the ascertained deviation is within the admissible tolerance value, or the machining head and the workpiece are oriented with respect to one another and to the contour such that a deviation of the actual position is within the admissible tolerance values following orientation.

  • Patent number: 9468992
    Abstract: A device and a method for machining workpieces (5, 6) by means of a laser beam. Said device has a delivery means (3) for delivering the workpieces (5,6) to a first machining position (8.1) and a machining means (2) which has at least one machining head (2.1) for machining of a workpiece (5,6) delivered to the first machining position (8.1). The delivery means (3) is a gripping robot with a gripping device (3.2). At least one clamping means (9,10) is disposed in order to accommodate a workpiece (5,6) delivered by the delivery means (3), wherein respective machining position is defined by each clamping means (9,10). The machining head (2.1) can be delivered to each machining position for machining of the workpieces (5,6).
