Abstract

A machine is disclosed for working or machining flat workpieces which comprises, a frame, a flame cutter connected to the frame for directing a cutting flame or jet to one side of a workpiece which penetrates the workpiece, a mechanism for moving the workpiece past the jet and a cooling unit for receiving the flame after it has penetrated the workpiece. The cooling equipment includes an opening space for receiving the flame and a device for circulating coolant into the opening space so that the coolant can cool the flame and absorb particles, vapors and gases generated by the cutting operation.
