Labelling apparatus and method for a sheet material cutting system.

摘要

In a sheet material cutting system a labelling apparatus (58) applies labels (56) to the top surface of work material (20) to identify the parts cut therefrom. The labelling apparatus (58) is a unitary self-driven and self-controlled unit using pre-printed labels (56) each providing a visual display for identifying the associated cut part, and associated with each label is a machine sensible code identifying the position on the work material at which the label is to be applied. Control cabling for the labelling apparatus is thereby avoided and the apparatus may be designed for easy transport from one point of use to another.
