A CNC machine includes a lower body; an upper body that extends from the lower body and is movably attached to the lower body; a tool that is movably attached to the upper body; and a flexible mat that is attached to the lower body. The tool may be a laser generator with the flexible mat resistant to the laser beam. The flexible mat has at least one orientation such that an outer periphery of the flexible mat is greater than the full extent of range of motion of the tool. The upper body may be connected to the lower body by a pivot mechanism configured to allow the upper body to pivot from a first position to a second position and to rotationally fix the upper body relative to the lower body in the second position, with the first and second positions being ninety degrees apart.

The present application discloses wheel engraving equipment, which includes a lower lifting system, lower flange engraving systems, inner rim engraving systems, a wheel positioning and clamping system, an upper lifting and rotating system, a synchronous clamping and rotating system and the like.

A method and an apparatus with rotating tool changer for automatically machining multiple sides of a workpiece which is trimmed and machined according to tags placed on the workpiece or preprogrammed sequence. A method that automatically selects and adjusts parametric computer machining code to machine various workpieces sizes. An apparatus comprising a handling and trimming station of parts to be machined, multiple optical, magnetic or radio-frequency identification (RFID) reading systems for processing labels or tags information for sequential workpieces machining steps, a multiple gantries computer numerical control (CNC) station for machining workpieces on various sides, multiple rotating tool changers for selecting tools used to machine workpieces, and a storage station that receives workpieces in sequential order when they have been processed. The moving gantries of the CNC station simultaneous machine multiple sides of the workpiece which in the preferred embodiment is composed of panel for making decorative items and engraved doors.

A processing apparatus for performing not only cutting and drawing, but also other processing, and a cartridge used for the processing apparatus are provided. The processing apparatus includes a first cartridge including: a first processing tool to form a machining mark by grinding or cutting a surface of a sheet-like object; an actuator to operate by an external power supply and drive the first processing tool; and a first housing to accommodate the first processing tool where a tip of the first processing tool is exposed and accommodate the actuator. The processing apparatus also includes a carriage including a mounting section which the first cartridge is detachably mounted; a transfer mechanism to move the object and the carriage relatively to each other; and a control circuit to control driving of the transfer mechanism to form the machining mark on the surface of the object by the first processing tool.

A key-cutting machine includes: a support structure; a front operational area which is accessible by an operator; at least one milling and/or cutting unit which is positioned in the front operational area and which includes at least one end mill, and/or another cutting member, to carry out a bitting processing of a key. The key-cutting machine also includes at least one clamp, which is positioned in the front operational area, to hold the key to be machined, so that a face of the key to be engraved is arranged substantially horizontally. The key-cutting machine also includes a device for engraving at least one face of the head of said key, said device being positioned inside the front operational area of said duplicating machine; and at least one pair of engraving tools mounted on a support unit. Each engraving tool includes cutting sections for engraving a corresponding face of a key.

A portable rail system for mounting an engraving device includes rails and crossbar members that are precisely joined, and include height adjustment devices for incrementally adjusting the height of the rail system relative to a work surface or contact surface, thus making the portable rail system capable of being assembled and disassembled at a work site to enable the use of an engraving device, such as a CNC router engraving systems, in situ, or on-site, rather than in a workshop. The portable rail system enables the use of a CNC router device or other engraving device on vertical surfaces.

To enable simple identification of a workpiece with little effort during machining of a workpiece on a processing machine, a marking method is provided which is to be carried out via the processing machine. The method includes a) providing a tool on a rotatable tool holder of the processing machine, b) relative linear movement of the tool holder and the workpiece along a line on the surface of the workpiece, and c) controlling the distance of tool holder and workpiece during the linear movement, so that a pattern of markings is produced along the line by machining with the tool to form the identification mark on the surface of the workpiece. Furthermore, a readout method, a machining method and a processing machine configured for carrying the method are provided.
