Abstract

Material feed and placement mechanisms for a steel cutting machine result in a power saving and accurate clamping device. A workpiece is moved into cutting position and clamped in place by the feed mechanism. After being cut by the cutting machine, the cut piece is slowly laid down by the placement mechanism. Not only can noise and vibration be eliminated, but also the safety of workers is improved, and machine life is extended.
