Abstract:
A sheet fabrication machine, comprising:a one and an other machining means in a machine body, said one and other machining means being arranged in alignment to move relatively towards each other in relation to said machine body to machine a worksheet placed therebetween;at least one of said machining means being provided with contact means for effecting its transfer and working movements, one part of said contact means being fixed to said one machining means and an other part of said contact means being movably coupled to said machine body and driven by at least one actuator, the movement of said one part relative to said machine body being effected via a contact surface connection by said other part;wherein at least one of said one part and said other part includes at least one guide surface part formed as a beveled surface in relation to the direction of movement of said machining means;wherein the position of said contact surface connection between said one part and said other part relative to said guide surface part defines the position of said one machining means, said guide surface part being provided with at least a first portion for effecting the transfer movements of said one machining means and a second portion for effecting the working movements of said one machining means on said worksheet; andwherein said one part and said other part are arranged in successive order in a manner that at least achieves one working cycle when said actuator drives said other part.
