Abstract:
1. A laser processing machine, comprising: a workpiece support; a movement unit comprising a transverse carrier that extends above and across the workpiece support and a line guiding device provided as an energy guide chain that is movably coupled to the transverse carrier; a laser processing head that is movably coupled to the transverse carrier such that the laser processing head can be guided along the transverse carrier in a longitudinal direction thereof; a bearing structure that extends along at least one side of the workpiece support and perpendicularly relative to the transverse carrier, the bearing structure supporting the transverse carrier such that the transverse carrier, together with the laser processing head, can move along the bearing structure and along the workpiece support; and a switch cabinet in which one or more control components of the laser processing machine are provided, wherein the transverse carrier and the bearing structure are disposed below the switch cabinet, and wherein the switch cabinet provides a free movement space disposed thereunderneath and above the transverse carrier and the bearing structure, such that at least a portion of the transverse carrier and at least a portion of the bearing structure are disposed within the free movement space, and such that the transverse carrier is movable within the free movement space along the bearing structure and along the workpiece support, and wherein at least a portion of the line guiding device is disposed within the free movement space.
