METHOD OF COMPLETING AUTOMATIC MACHINES FOR MAKING AND WORKING FLAT PARTS AND APPARATUS FOR AIR-PLASMA CUTTING FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: machine tool manufacture. SUBSTANCE: method is realized due to using standard aggregates and units including frame with cross like movable table for mounting part and moving it in two mutually normal directions; secured to frame stationary column supporting power head for mounting and moving tool in direction of third coordinate axis normal relative to surface of said table; drive systems for driving cross like table and power head; system for testing coordinates of movable members; number program control system containing microcomputer, reprogrammable memory device, operator board for introducing control signals and for displaying information related to machine operation. Method is also realized due to using as additional units unifying interface and apparatus for air-plasma cutting built-in to plasma torch secured by means of special flange to power head; systems for turning on and controlling plasma current; systems for preparing and supplying air for plasma generation and cooling air to torch; systems for monitoring air supply to torch connected through unifying interface with system for number program control of machine. EFFECT: enlarged functional possibilities, lowered time period for making parts, reduced metal consumption for cuttings. 2 cl, 4 dwg
