A numerically controlled tool-holding device for jet/beam cutting. It is a device designed specifically for the requirements of jet/beam cutting of thick, plate-shaped components, and it is to be understood as a component of a gantry-type, robot-like machine. With the aid of this device it is possible to change the orientation of the jet/beam-producing tool relative to the component and to produce the bevel forms which are usual in this plate thickness range - very flat bevels of great length are typical - without the risk of collisions and with particularly great accuracy. The device is designed to withstand the environmental stress which prevails during jet/beam cutting of thick, plate-shaped components, i.e. great heat and the production of large amounts of dust. It is characterized in that the tip of the torch or the TCP of a jet/beam-producing tool has a normal distance from the pivot axis which is greater than the extent of the housing in a plane perpendicular to said pivot axis, and the horizontal part of the connecting element is designed in such a manner that its distance from the pivot axis is greater than that between the TCP and said pivot axis, and the range of motion of the jet/beam-producing tool about the pivot axis is significantly greater than 180 degrees. |
