The invention relates to a method of remote control of a portable automated panel cutter comprising a power cutter, the method comprises the steps of: establishing a wireless communication channel between the portable user device and the controller. Via the portable user device, select one of a plurality of predetermined cutting offs, each of which is definable by at least one predetermined measures type. For the selected cutting offs establishing a required number of measures corresponding to the at least one measures type. Via the portable user device, provide selected to the controller the established measures for the selected cutting off, and via the portable user device, initiating cutting operation of the panel cutter according to the selected cutting off and the established measures.

The invention relates to a method of remote control of a portable automated cutter comprising a power cutter. The position of the power cutter is controlled by a controller based at least partly on input provided by a user via an intelligent measuring tape. The intelligent measuring tape comprising a distance sensor, an orientation sensor, a micro-controller and a user interface comprising a communication element. The user is extracting tape from the intelligent measuring tape enclosure along at least one part of a representation of a cutting off, the distance sensor establishing a linear measure of the length of the extracted tape, by activating the communication element, the user facilitates wireless communication of the established linear measure from the micro-controller to the controller, and upon receiving the linear measure, the controller controls the power cutter according to the established linear measure.

The invention relates to a portable automated panel cutter comprising a plurality of frame profile are releasably connected to form a support frame defining an inner support area. A carriage releasably mounted to the frame comprising a tool holder carriage movable in a second direction (Y) relative to the inner support area. The carriage is movable in a first direction (X) relative to the inner support area. A tool holder releasably mounted to the tool holder carriage. A power cutter releasably mounted to the tool holder, the power cutter is movable in a third direction (Z) relative to the inner support area and in an angle (φ) around the third direction (Z). Finally, the panel cutter comprises a controller configured for receiving input data and based hereon control the position (X, Y, Z) and orientation (φ) of the power cutter.

A panel cutter has a clamping mechanism positioned adjacent to the cutting path to hold the panel material in position during the cutting process. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping bar which is removably coupled to a pair of lever mechanisms which are rotatably coupled to the framework of the panel cutter. An actuator bar having cams at both ends is also coupled to the framework and position adjacent to the lever arms, wherein movement of the actuator bar causes movement of the lever arms. Based upon the configuration and positioning of these components, movement of the lever arms causes the clamping bar to move between a locked position and an unlocked position.
