Abstract

The invention relates to a cutting machine and to a method for carrying out cutting work on flat, flexible or other pieces of material using at least two cutting devices, which can carry out cutting work simultaneously. The cutting devices are operated such that, when the cutting devices are operated simultaneously, each cutting device carries out the respective cutting work on a different piece of material, and each of the cutting devices only carries out a respective portion of the cutting work to be carried out on a piece of material. In this way the cutting devices, or the cutting machine components carrying same, can be prevented from colliding. This in turn has the positive effect that higher cutting performance can be achieved.

CUTTING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT CUTTING WORK ON FLOOR, BELT, OR OTHER

MATERIALS

The present invention relates to a method according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and a cutting machine according to the preamble of patent claim 12.

The material to be cut by the cutting machine materials are planar in the example considered, Ma ^¬ terialien limp such as, but far from ^¬ finally fabrics, leather, furs, paper, films, cork,

Rubber, felts, etc ..

From the material to be cut, computer-controlled parts with predetermined sizes and shapes are usually cut out. The cutting is done by a cutting device that can operate on a variety of principles, for example using a pull knife, a circular blade, an oscillating knife that performs an up and down movement, a high-frequency meter whose frequency can reach into the ultrasonic range , a jet of water, one

Lasers, or a plasma cutter.

The basic structure of such a known cutting ^¬ machine is shown schematically in Figure 1. The cutting machine shown in Figure 1 includes a support surface 1, a bridge 31 which is along a double arrow A, that is displaceable relative to the support surface 1 relative thereto, and arranged on the bridge 31 Schneidevorrichtunmg 41 along a double arrow B, ie transverse to the direction of movement A of the bridge 31 relative to this is displaceable. The material to be cut by the cutting machine is to be placed on the support surface 1. In the example considered is a designated by the reference numeral 2 piece of leather.

By a corresponding movement of the bridge 31 and the cutting device 41 can then from the leather piece 2 arbitrarily many, arbitrarily large, and arbitrarily shaped parts from arbitrary locations of the leather piece 2 are cut out. The control of the movement of the bridge 31 and the

Cutting device 41 is usually done by a computer.

The definition of which parts of where to cut out of the piece of leather is usually also at least partially also by a computer. For this purpose, the position of the leather piece 2 on the support surface 1, the shape and size of the leather piece 2, as well as the position, the shape, and the size of imperfections and / or different quality zones on the leather piece 2 are determined first. These investigations can be made at least partially fully automatically using a scanner. In the error locations and Quali ^¬ tätszonen however, it may prove advantageous when they are manually identified by a person, and then only present on the piece of leather marks are automatically recorded and evaluated. Then, the computer determines, taking into account the information mentioned above, which parts of where to cut out of the piece of leather (nesting), whereby it is preferably ensured that the parts to be cut out are optimally nested, so as little material remains unused. Subsequently, the computer generates then automatic ^¬ illustrates the pattern, according to which the bridge 31 and the cutting device during cutting of the material must be moved sawn. Such cutting machines are often referred to in the art as a cutter.

It is clear and requires no further explanation, that there is an interest to cut a wide variety of mate ^¬ rials with minimal material consumption as soon as possible.

For this purpose, it may be provided to increase the cutting speed. However, the cutting speed can not be made arbitrarily large. If the speed is too high, the material will no longer be cut correctly or the material will be displaced during cutting, which means that the cut-out parts will no longer be dimensionally stable and therefore unusable.

Furthermore, provision can be made for carrying out the preparatory work (detecting the position and the contour of the material to be cut and the fault locations and quality zones) not in the cutting station shown in FIG. 1, but in a separate scanner / nesting station. Then, during the cutting of a dermis 2 in the cutting station, the preparatory work for the sclera 2 to be cut next can be carried out in the separate scanner / nesting station. This has the positive effect that can be cut almost ^{ununterbro ¬} chen in the cutting station. This is especially true if the scanner / nesting station, the cutting station, and preferably a clearing station in which the cut-out parts and the remainders are removed and sorted, are arranged in a row at equal mutual distances, and the material to be cut is on a cut-resistant conveyor belt, which it transports on demand to the next workstation. However, even with such an arrangement, it would be desirable if the cutting in the cutting station could be accomplished in even less time. One possibility for this is that several Schnei ^¬ devorrichtungen be provided. An example of such a cutting station is illustrated in FIG. The one shown in FIG

Cutting machine largely corresponds to the cutting machine shown in FIG. The only difference is that the cutting machine shown in Figure 2 in addition to a second bridge 32 and one at this

attached second cutting device 42 includes, which can be like the first bridge 31 or as the first cutting ^¬ device 41 to move. In this cutting machine, therefore, two cutting devices can at the same time cut out the parts to be cut out of a dermis 2.

However, doubling the number of cutters working simultaneously on a dermis does not halve the time required for cutting. The reason for this is that the cutting devices 41, 42 and / or the bridges 31 supporting them,

32 can interfere with each other. More specifically, it must be prevented that the cutting devices 41, 42 and / or these carrying bridges 31, 32 collide, whereby it happens again and again that one of the cutting devices must wait idly, because they would otherwise collide with the other cutting ^¬ device.

The present invention therefore has for its object, the method according to the preamble of claim 1 and the cutting machine according to the preamble of patent ^¬ claim 12 with little additional effort in such a wei ^¬ terzubilden that thus a higher cutting performance can be achieved. This object is achieved by the claimed in patent ^¬ claim 1 method and claimed in claim 12 cutting machine. The method according to the invention is characterized

- That with simultaneous operation of the cutting devices, each cutting device performs their cutting work on another piece of material, and

- That each of the cutting devices each performs only a part of the cutting work to be performed on a piece of material.

The cutting machine according to the invention is characterized in that it operates according to this method. Since, on the one hand, several cutting devices cut simultaneously, but never at the same time several cutting devices work on a piece of material and thus there is no risk of collisions of the cutting devices and / or these bearing cutting machine components, the cutting devices can be used very efficiently. In particular ^¬ sondere can achieve much hö ^¬ here cutting performance in this way.

Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a Ausführungsbei ^¬ game and reference to the figures. From the figures show:

Figure 1, the already described at first initially conventional

Cutting machine in a top view,

FIG. 2 shows the second conventional cutting machine already described above in a plan view from above, and Figure 3 is a described in more detail below Schneidema ^¬ machine in a plan view from above.

The cutting machine presented here is like the conventional cutting machine described above, a cutting ^¬ machine for cutting flat, limp materials such as, but by far not exclusively fabrics, leather, skins, paper, films, cork, rubber, felting, etc .. The However, here presented cutting machine can also be a cutting machine for cutting any other

Materials, for example, for cutting marble slabs or other non-limp materials. The basic structure of the here presented cutting ^¬ machine is shown schematically in Figure 3. The cutting machine shown in Figure 3 includes a support surface 101, a first bridge 131 which along a double arrow A, ie along the support surface 101 is displaceable relative to the support surface 101, a angeord ^¬ to the first bridge 131 first Schneidevorrichtunmg 141, which along one

Double arrow B, that is transversely to the direction of movement A of the first bridge 131 relative to the first bridge 131 is displaceable, a second bridge 132, which along a double arrow A, ie along the support surface 101 relative to the support surface

101 is displaceable, and arranged on the second bridge 132 second Schneidevorrichtunmg 142, which along a double arrow B, ie transversely to the direction of movement A of the second bridge 132 relative to the second bridge 132 is displaceable.

The support surface 101 is preferably a cut-resistant För ^¬ derband, but could also be a table top or the like.

The cutting devices 141, 142 can operate according to any principles, for example using a Pulling knife, a circular blade, an oscillating Mes ^¬ sers that performs an up and down movement, a high-frequency meter whose frequency can extend into the ultrasound ^¬ range, a water jet, a laser, or a plasma cutter.

The material to be cut by the cutting machine is to be placed on the support surface 101. As will be explained in more detail below, in the machine presented here, the existing cutting devices 141, 142 never work simultaneously on the same piece of material. In the example under consideration and in the state shown in FIG. 3, the first cutting device 141 cuts straight parts out of a first piece of material 121 and cuts the second one

Cutting device 142 at the same time parts of a second piece of material 122 from. That through the presented here

Cutting machine to be machined material thus consists of several pieces of material, in the example considered a piece of material per existing cutting device. These, designated by the reference numerals 121 and 122 pieces of material are placed on the support surface 101.

In the example considered, the pieces of material 121 and 122 are each a piece of leather, for example a complete hide skin in each case.

The control of the controllable components of the cutting machine (the cutting devices 141, 142, the bridges 131, 132, the conveyor belt and possibly further

Cutting machine components) is performed by a

Cutting machine belonging to computer or a separate computer. This will be discussed in more detail later.

The determination of which parts from where to cut out of the pieces of material also takes place at least partially by means of a computer. For this each Mate ^¬ rialstück first the position of the relevant material Piece on the support surface 101, the shape and size of the piece of material, as well as the position, the shape, and the size of flaws and / or the different quality zones determined on the piece of material in question. These determinations may be made, at least in part, fully automatically using a scanner, which scanner is preferably located in a separate scanner / nesting station provided upstream adjacent to the arrangement shown in FIG. However, it can be advantageous for the defects and quality zones if they are manually marked by a person, and then only the markings present on the leather piece are automatically detected and evaluated. Then, the computer determines, taking into account the information mentioned above, which parts are to be cut out of the piece of leather (nesting), wherein it is preferably ensured that the parts to be cut out are optimally nested, so as little as possible unused material. The computer then automatically generates the pattern according to which the bridge 31 and the cutting device must be moved when cutting the material.

For the sake of completeness it should be noted that preferably also a separate evacuation station is provided, in which the cut-out parts and the remainders are removed and sorted, and which is located downstream adjacent to the arrangement shown in Figure 3. If, in addition to the arrangement shown in FIG. 3, a separate scanner / nesting station and / or a separate removal station is provided, which, as already mentioned above, is preferably the case, the conveyor belt forming the support surface 101 preferably extends over the entire (extended) arrangement, ie all existing workstations. Due to the mobility of the cutting devices 141 and 142 and the bridges 131 and 132 carrying them, there is an area for each cutting device within which the respective cutting device can be moved and can cut parts out of a piece of material lying therein. These areas are referred to below

Designated cutting areas. More specifically, the area within which the first cutter 141 can intersect is referred to as the first cutting area, and the area within which the second cutter 142 can intersect is referred to as the second cutting area.

The cutting areas are preferably so large that a separate piece of material can be accommodated completely in each cutting area.

The cutting machine is preferably designed such that the first cutting region of the first cutting device 141 and the second cutting region of the second cutting device 141 do not overlap. Preferably, the spaced Schnei ^¬ debereiche so far from each other that it can not even theoretically be a collision of the cutting devices 141, 142 and / or the bridges 131, 132nd

The cutting devices 141, 142 and the bridges 131, 132 are thus freely movable independently of each other. By a corresponding movement of the bridges 131, 132 and the cutting devices 141, 142, any number of arbitrarily large, arbitrarily shaped, and arbitrarily shaped parts can be cut from arbitrary locations of the pieces of material in the cutting regions independently of one another at the same time.

The cutting machine is also controlled so that the cutting devices 141, 142 each work on different pieces of material, and that to be carried out on a piece of material piece cutting work partly by the first cutting device 141, and partly by the second cutting device 142.

More precisely, the cutting process in the example under consideration proceeds as described in more detail below.

It is assumed that no, located on the support surface 101 to ^¬ least in the example shown in Figure 3 the area of the contact surface initially material to be cut piece 121 122nd It is further assumed that the conveyor belt, which serves as a support surface 101 for the pieces of material and for transporting the pieces of material, moves - bezo ^¬ gene on the representation in Figure 3 - from bottom to top, ie as indicated by the arrow C moves ,

By putting serving as a bearing surface 101 För ^¬ coarse Andes the first piece of material is then brought into the cutting area of the second cutting device 142 121st When the first piece of material 121 has reached its intended position, the conveyor belt is stopped again. In this state, where the second piece of material 122 is shown in FIG. 3, the first piece of material 121 is now located, and there is no piece of material where the first piece of material 121 is drawn in FIG.

Now, the second cutter 142 begins to cut out the parts to be cut out of the first piece of material 121. However, the second cutter 142 does not cut all parts to be cut out of the first piece of material 121. Since no piece of material to be cut is located in the cutting area of the first cutting device 141, the first cutting device 141 does not perform a cutting operation at this stage.

Subsequently, the conveyor belt is put back into operation, whereby the first piece of material 121 in the cutting area the first cutting device 141, that is, for example, to the drawn in Figure 3 position of the first Ma ^¬ material piece 121 passes. Along with this, the earlier it is launched second ma- terialstück 122 into the cutting area of the second cutting device 142 by the conveyor belt, so ge ^¬ introduced, for example, to the shown in the Figure 3 position of the second piece of material 122nd Thereafter, the conveyor belt is stopped again. The first material piece 121 and the second piece of material 122 are now where they are drawn in the figure 3 in the ^¬ sem state.

Now both cutting devices 141, 142 are put into operation. The first cutting device 141 is driven in such a way that it ^{carries out the} cutting work which is performed on the first material piece 121 and which previously ^depends on the second cutting piece 141

Cutting device 142 have not yet done, performs. At the same time, the second cutting device 142 cuts out parts to be cut out of the second piece of material 122. But as ^¬ derum the second cutting device 142 cuts not all of the second material piece 122 cut out parts. The remaining cutting work is again performed later by the first cutting device 141. After completion of this step 121 are all herauszuschneidenden from the first piece of material

Cut out parts, so completed all cutting work to be performed, whereas on the second piece of material 122 later by the first cutting device 141 further cutting work to be performed.

Subsequently, the conveyor belt is put back into operation, whereby the first piece of material 121 is transported out of the region of the cutting machine shown in Figure 3. Preferably, the first piece of material 121 passes into a (not shown in the figures) Abräum station, in which the cut-out parts and the remainder of the first piece of material removed from the conveyor belt and can be sorted. Along with this comes the second piece of material 122 into the cutting area of the first cutting device 141, thus for example to the shown in the Figure 3 position of the first piece of material 121. Along with this, is by the conveyor belt, a fact Lay-earlier third piece of material in the cutting ^¬ area the second cutting device 142, so for example brought to the drawn in Figure 3 position of the two ^¬ th material piece 122. Thereafter, the conveyor belt is stopped again. In this state, the second piece of material 122 and the third piece of material are now where in the figure 3, the first piece of material 121 and the second piece of material 122 are located. Now again both cutting devices 141, 142 are put into operation. The first cutting device 141 is driven such that it performs on the second piece of material 122 for For ^¬ leading cutting work that have not been previously done by the second cutting device 142. At the same time, the second cutter 142 cuts out parts to be cut out of the third piece of material. However, the second cutter 142 in turn does not cut all parts to be cut out of the third piece of material. The remaining cutting work is again performed later by the first cutting device 141. To

Completion of this step are all cut out of the second mate ^¬ rial piece 122 all cut out parts, so completed all the cutting work to be performed, whereas later on the third piece of material further cutting work to be performed.

Subsequently, the conveyor belt is set to continue transporting the pieces of material back into operation, then cut again when stopped conveyor belt, etc ..

As already indicated above, it is determined by a computer which cutting device which Has to carry out cutting work. The division of the work to be performed on a piece of material cutting work on the plurality of cutting devices is preferably carried out such

- that of those to be performed on a piece of material

Cutting works the cutting works by a

Cutting device can not be performed, performed by the other cutting devices or were, and / or

that each of the cutting devices performs a part of the cutting work to be performed on a piece of material,

- that the cutting devices are operated so that as many cutting devices simultaneously processing ^¬ th,

- that the cutting devices are operated so that the cutting devices as long as possible at the same ar ^¬ BEITEN,

that the circumference of the cutting work to be carried out simultaneously by the cutting devices differs as little as possible,

that the division of the cutting work which each cutting device has to carry out on the pieces of material which are currently being cut, is effected in dependence on the cutting work to be carried out on the pieces of material which are being processed by the cutting devices,

- That the division of the cutting work that each cutting device has to perform on the pieces of material to be cut, depending on the cutting work to be performed on the next piece of material or on the next pieces of material, the according to the pieces of material being worked on by the cutting devices,

- that the cutting work to be performed on a piece of material is divided evenly among the cutting devices,

- That the cutting work to be performed on a piece of material are unevenly divided on the cutting devices, and / or

- That the cutting devices are moved independently. The presented cutting machine and the pre ^¬ here presented method can be modified manifold.

For example, there is no restriction on providing exactly two cutting devices. In principle, any number of more cutting devices can be provided.

Further, there is no necessity to arrange the Schneidevorrich ^¬ obligations as in the example considered (at bridges 131, 132). The cutting devices can also be arranged on any other cutting machine components, for example also on a robot arm.

The cutting machine presented here also proves to be advantageous when cutting rolls. Here ^¬ the through said at least two cutting devices 141, 142 carried out at the same time cutting operations on different areas of the material web, said material portions as the plurality of pieces of material 121, 122, as the cutting ranges of the plurality of cutting devices 141, 142 disposed portions of the rolls and are at least in terms of the cutting work to be carried out just like the several pieces of material 121, 122 are treated. That means among other things

- That at the same time operating the cutting devices 141, 142, each cutting device performs their cutting work on a different material area, and

- That each of the cutting devices 141, 142 each performs only a portion of the cutting work to be performed on a material area.

The roll stock can therefore be considered as a number of interconnected pieces of material.

Regardless of this, there is no compelling need to pre-cutting to be performed preparatory work, so the determination of the position of a piece of material on the support surface 101, the shape and size of the piece of material, the position, the shape, and the size of flaws and / or the different quality zones on the piece of material concerned, as well as the nesting of the parts to be cut (nesting) are carried out as described above. In particular, instead of the mentioned fully automatic interleaving by a computer, manual interleaving may also take place, in which the user interleaves on a monitor or using a pattern and / or other information on the video projector or laser projector projecting the respective piece of material other way performs itself. There are also mixed forms of possible ^¬ Lich, in which the computer is a Verschachtelungsvor- impact does and the user can make changes, or in which the nesting partly done manually (for certain be cut sections or for certain areas of the patch) by the user, and in some cases (for the remaining parts to be cut or the remaining areas of the piece of material) is automatically done by a computer. The same applies to the

Determination of the position of a respective piece of material on the support surface 101, the shape and the size of the material Piece, the position, the shape, and the size of flaws and / or the various quality zones on the piece of material in question. The work required for this purpose can also be carried out manually by the user or automatically by a computer, or partly manually by the user and partly automatically by a computer.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the conveyor belt does not stand still during cutting, but is moved continuously, so that the existing cutting devices can cut uninterrupted. In addition in this case may be provided, the speed of the conveyor belt as a function of the work to be carried out just cutting ^¬ and / or other parameters to vary, for example, so that at any time mög ^¬ lichst many cutting devices with the highest possible

Can cut speed.

The same principle as cutting can also be used when clearing the cut pieces of material. That is, it can be two or more consecutive

Abräum stations are provided, each Abräum station contains its own clearing device, and wherein these

Clearing devices are operated so

- That at the same time operation of the Abräumvorrichtungen each clearing device parts of another piece of material, and

- That each of the Abräumvorrichtungen performs only a portion of the removal work to be performed for piece of material, and wherein the Abräumvorrichtungen preferably further so

can be operated or operated, that, of the overburden to be carried out for one piece of material, the clearing operations, which are not carried out by a clearing device, are or were carried out by the other clearing devices,

each of the clearing devices carries out a part of the clearing work to be carried out for a piece of material,

- that as many evacuation devices work simultaneously,

that the clearing devices work as long as possible at the same time, that the circumferences of the clearing work to be carried out simultaneously by the clearing devices differ as little as possible,

that the division of the clearing work which each clearing device has to carry out on the pieces of material which are currently being cleared takes place as a function of the clearing work to be carried out on the pieces of material which are to be removed by the clearing devices,

that the division of the clearing work which each clearing device has to perform on the pieces of material to be cleared is done in dependence on the clearing work to be performed on the next piece of material or on the next pieces of material, according to the pieces of material to be cleared by the clearing devices to clear away

- that the clearing devices are moved independently of each other,

- That each of the Abräumvorrichtungen has a Abräumbereich within which they are moved and clearing work and that a separate piece of material is placed in each clearing area,

- That the pieces of material are transported by a conveyor belt in the first Abräumbereich and further from Abräumbereich to Abräumbereich, and / or

- That the conveyor belt is stopped when and as long as one or more cutting devices perform a cutting operation.

The cutting ^machine presented here and the method presented here prove to be advantageous regardless of the details of the practical implementation.
