Patent ID: 10155286

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a guide bevel on a workpiece, in particular a cutting tool. The workpiece to be machined is clamped in a clamping device which is rotationally driven about a rotational axis, and at least one laser unit is provided. The clamping device and the laser unit can be moved relative to each other by means of at least one CNC-controlled axis. The laser unit is of a type that is suitable for machining the workpiece by removing material. In order to produce the margin, the laser unit and the clamping device are controlled such that the workpiece in the clamping device is continuously rotated about the rotational axis of the clamping device at least by a specified angular amount while the laser unit and the clamping device are moved relative to each other at least by a specified distance in order to remove material from the workpiece so as to produce the guide bevel.
