ABSTRACT:
A combination punch press and laser machine has its punch press system and worktable mounted to one frame while its laser system mounted to another frame. The two frames are not in contact with each other, but are positioned such that a cantilever member of the frame whereon the laser system is mounted extends over the worktable so that the laser cutting head which is mounted to the end of the cantilever member superposes over a particular location of the worktable whereat the cutting of the worksheet by the laser beam is to be effected. This particular laser cutting location is positioned relative to the location of the worktable whereat the punching of the worksheet is to be effected by the pair of coacting upper tool and lower die of the punch press system. To prevent vibrations, be it resulting from impacts of the tool and die to the worksheet at the punching station or environmental vibrations, from affecting the accuracy of the positioning of the laser cutting head and damaging the laser cutting system, the frame on which the laser system is mounted is isolated from the floor by a number of rubber air springs which pressure is adjustably controlled by regulators. A number of safety supports that work in conjunction with the air springs prevent any collapse of the laser system frame in the unlikely event that the appropriate pressure is not maintained in the air pressure springs.
