Abstract:
A method for sawing metal workpieces uses a sawing machine having a bench and clamping jaws, and an upper saw generates a sawing feeding movement in a cutting plane. The method includes: controlling the clamping jaws to clamp a workpiece, the clamping jaws located in an initial position; waiting input of an offset value, corresponding to a distance of a front end side of the workpiece from a zero position, into the machine controller, the zero position being a position in which the front end side of the workpiece is located in the cutting plane; advancing or retracting the clamping jaws to move the workpiece into the zero position; opening the clamping jaws; moving the clamping jaws to the initial position; re-clamping the workpiece located in the zero position, the clamping jaws being in their initial position; moving the clamped workpiece from the zero position into a cutting position, the cutting position being a position in the cutting plane where the workpiece is intended to be sawn.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for sawing metal workpieces using a sawing machine comprising a machine frame ( 1 ) including a sawing bench ( 2 ), clamping jaws ( 8 ), which are movable back and forth, for positioning a workpiece on the sawing bench ( 2 ), an upper saw part attached to the machine frame ( 1 ), movable relative to the sawing bench ( 2 ) in order to generate a sawing feeding movement extending in a cutting plane ( 7 ), a sawing tool ( 6 ) which is driven so as to generate a material-removing sawing movement on the upper saw part, and a machine controller ( 12 ) for controlling movement sequences, the method comprising:\n controlling the clamping jaws ( 8 ) to clamp a workpiece placed on the sawing bench ( 2 ), the clamping jaws ( 8 ) being located in an initial position, waiting for an input of an offset value into the machine controller ( 12 ), the offset value corresponding to a distance of a front end side of the workpiece from a zero position, the zero position being a position in which the front end side of the workpiece is located in the cutting plane ( 7 ), advancing or retracting the clamping jaws ( 8 ) in order to move the workpiece into the zero position using the offset value, opening the clamping jaws ( 8 ), moving the clamping jaws ( 8 ) to the initial position, re-clamping the workpiece located in the zero position, the clamping jaws ( 8 ) being in their initial position, moving the clamped workpiece, by the clamping jaws ( 8 ), from the zero position into a cutting position by way of a feeding movement, the cutting position being a position in which that point of the workpiece at which the workpiece is intended to be sawn off is located in the cutting plane ( 7 ).
