Abstract:
1. Machine for processing workpieces in slab form, chosen from among slabs of natural stone materials, ceramic materials and agglomerates, of the type comprising a working surface ( 12 ) for supporting the slabs (L) to be machined, two bridge structures ( 22 , 24 ) parallel to each other and mounted at the respective ends of said working surface ( 12 ), a beam ( 32 ) extending between the said two bridge structures ( 22 , 24 ) and slidably mounted thereon so as to perform displacements perpendicularly with respect to a longitudinal direction of the working surface, and at least one spindle ( 36 ) with a vertical axis movable vertically with respect to the working surface ( 12 ) and slidably supported by said beam ( 32 ), said at least one spindle ( 36 ) being able to receive at its bottom end at least a cutting disk, wherein said working surface consists of a conveyor belt movable perpendicularly to said bridge structures and parallel to the beam supporting the spindle; said bottom end of the at least one spindle ( the machine is provided with a numerical control system with interpolated axes for controlling the operations thereof.
