Method for overlapping and processing two workpieces, involves performing workpiece processing operation, if predetermined minimum distance between two spindle units is reached

摘要

The method involves transferring left and right workpieces (12,14) to left and right workpiece retainers (16,18) respectively, such that workpieces are clamped on respective retainers. Two spindle units (26,28) are provided to drive the cutter tools for processing left and right workpieces. The distance between spindle units is monitored. The processing operation of workpieces is performed, if predetermined minimum distance between the spindle units is reached. An independent claim is included for device for overlapping two workpieces.
