A cutting support for a cutting machine suitable for supporting a strip to be cut. The cutting support includes: a frame with L-shaped cross-section, having a horizontal element and a vertical element, retaining elements suitable for retaining the strip toward the vertical element of the frame, and a stop panel having an inner surface facing the vertical element of the frame and an outer surface facing a lateral side of the strip. The retaining elements include at least one suction cup displaced on the outer surface of the stop panel and a pneumatic connection connected to the at least one suction cup and suitable for being connected to a suction device.

A dual platform bed system has an associated machine for transferring material sheets from one platform bed to another. There are associated methods for both transferring and processing sheets on either or both platforms. Placing the platform beds adjacent one another reduces both human worker requirement and human and machine down time.

This invention relates to a method for determining a wear state of a chisel, a chisel holder, and/or a chisel holder replacement system equipped with a chisel and chisel holder. For this method to give the user qualitative and quantitative information about the wear, according to one embodiment of this invention, a position of at least one point of the chisel and/or the chisel holder is determined by a contactless measurement method and a corresponding measurement result is compared in a switching unit to a reference value stored in a memory device.

The invention relates to an automatic tile cutter (1) comprising a cutting table (31) for receiving a tile (21) to be cut, and at least one cutting tool (59) that is translatably movable along a guide rail (61) and is to cut the tile along a cutting line such that a cut tile and scraps are obtained, characterized in that the tile cutter additionally comprises: —at least a first conveyor (11) for conveying the tile (21) from a tile loading zone (5) to a tile cutting zone (7); —at least two abutments (15) for blocking the movement of the tile (21) in a predefined tile position in the cutting zone; and —an electronic control unit (57) configured to control the positioning of the abutment elements (15) and the cutting tool (59) relative to each other in accordance with predefined cutting parameters and actuate the cutting tool.

A cart for carrying a cut-off saw having a saw blade. The cart includes a frame with upper and lower portions, a wheel arm pivotably coupled to the lower portion about a first axis, and a rear wheel assembly coaxial with the first axis and coupled to the frame and the wheel arm. The cart includes a front wheel coupled to an end of the wheel arm opposite the rear wheel assembly, an adjustment lever pivotably coupled to the upper portion about a second axis, and a link having a first end pivotably coupled to the adjustment lever and spaced from the second axis, and a second end pivotably coupled to the wheel arm between the first axis and the front wheel. Pivoting the adjustment lever about the second axis pivots the wheel arm about the first axis to adjust a vertical position of the front wheel relative to the upper portion.

A machine for milling pavement such as a rotary mixer or road planer includes a cutting rotor that is vertically adjustable with respect to the frame and that is accommodated in a rotor enclosure. The milling machine may be associated with a visual camera network having one or more cameras located about the milling machine with a field of view toward the rotor enclosure and work surface. An image augmentation system can generate a reference line augmentation to superimpose over one or more visual images obtained by the cameras and display the augmented images on a visual display.

The present invention relates to a cutting method and a cutting device for the superficial scoring of, preferably plate-shaped, components made of glass or ceramics, preferably of glass sheets, and to a method for dividing of, preferably plate-shaped, components made of glass or ceramics, preferably of glass sheets, for example of float glass sheets or laminated glass sheets, in particular laminated safety glass sheets, into individual component cuttings, preferably glass sheet cuttings.

A processing procedure of an object in stone material and defining final profile, using: a work station of the object; tools to process the object and defining a removal thickness; a block for reciprocal movement between object and tool; a drive block control unit; an acquisition step wherein an acquisition system acquires the current cutting profile of each tool; an evaluation step wherein for each tool an offset is determined between object and tool as a function of the final profile, removal thickness and current cutting profile; and at least one processing step wherein the movement block reciprocally moves object and tool defining the offset.
