Abstract:
1. A laser machining apparatus for machining sheet-like workpieces, said apparatus comprising: a table disposed on a bed and configured to move in a plane; a laser beam generating device configured to generate a laser beam orthogonal to the plane and being coupled to the bed; a supply-side roll holding device and a take-up side roll holding device disposed on said table so as to be moved together in the plane with said table; a supply-side roll coupled to said supply-side roll holding device, said supply-side roll containing the sheet-like workpieces and configured to supply the sheet-like workpieces to said table; a take-up side roll coupled to said take-up side roll holding device, said take-up side roll configured to receive finished sheet-like workpieces from said table; and a machining area defined on said table, said machining area configured to receive and fix the sheet-like workpieces thereto and move with the sheet-like workpieces relative to the laser beam during machining.
