Abstract

A cut-off arrangement comprises a multiple-arm industrial robot (100) with a support arm in the form of an articulated lever (7). One end of the lever is mounted in a stanchion (8) so as to pivot about a horizontal and a vertical axis. The workpiece holder (18), on which the cutting-off disk (13) moves linearly on sliding means (22, 23), is hingedly supported at the other end of the lever. The adjusting devices of the robot (100) are hydraulic cylinders (11; 16; 17; 19) or hydraulic servomotors (20, 21) which can be centrally controlled and immobilized.
