  • Patent number: 10086475
    Abstract: Laser processing machines, such as laser cutting machine, including a work table receiving workpiece, and work arm with a laser cutting head. Laser cutting head includes nozzle receiving device and nozzle. Via nozzle laser beam may be directed onto work piece. Machine includes main drives moving work arm and/or the laser cutting head on X-Y-Z axes to process work piece, as well as an alignment unit to adjust laser beam. An adjusting station includes receiving unit fixing nozzle and/or the nozzle receiving device during centering of nozzle. The alignment unit has head element in laser cutting head. Head element receives nozzle and/or the nozzle receiving device and is slidable in X-Y directions, via the main drives. Head element may be fixed in a selected position, within the laser cutting head, via clamping device releasable during nozzle centering at adjusting station.

  • Patent number: 9937590
    Abstract: Laser processing machines, such as laser cutting machine (LM), including a work table receiving workpiece (W), and work arm (1) with a laser cutting head (2). Laser cutting head (2) includes nozzle receiving device (7) and nozzle (D). Via nozzle (D) laser beam (11) may be directed onto work piece (W). Machine (LM) includes main drives moving work arm (1) and/or the laser cutting head (2) on X-Y-Z axes to process work piece (W), as well as an alignment unit to adjust laser beam (11). An adjusting station (3) includes receiving unit (31) fixing nozzle (D) and/or the nozzle receiving device (7) during centering of nozzle (D). The alignment unit has head element (5B) in laser cutting head (2). Head element (5B) receives nozzle (D) and/or the nozzle receiving device (7) and is slidable in X-Y directions, via the main drives. Head element (5B) may be fixed in a selected position, within the laser cutting head (2), via clamping device (12) releasable during nozzle centering at adjusting station (3).

  • Patent number: 8175769
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the detection of an obstacle (43) in relation to a controlled-movement panel (3), including: deformable tubular means or a flexible tube (31) for the propagation of low-frequency dynamic pressure waves; means for transmitting (40a) and receiving (40b) the low-frequency dynamic pressure waves; and means for processing (9) said dynamic pressure waves, which, upon detection of an obstacle, are designed to allow the panel (3) to be moved in relation to the obstacle (43), the panel being stopped, lowered or re-opened.
