Abstract

The invention relates to a machining device, in particular for machining workpieces made from wood, wood materials, plastic or the like, having at least one workpiece table with a first workpiece holder for holding at least one workpiece, furthermore with a second workpiece holder for holding at least one workpiece, wherein the workpiece can be positioned in at least two dimensions, advantageously in three dimensions, during a re-clamping operation from the first workpiece holder into the second workpiece holder.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A machining device for machining workpieces comprising wood, wood materials, or plastic, the device comprising
at least one workpiece table having a first workpiece mounting for holding at least one workpiece and a second workpiece mounting for holding the at least one workpiece,
wherein the workpiece table is adapted such that the at least one workpiece is movable in at least two dimensions when being re-chucked from the first workpiece mounting to the second workpiece mounting,
wherein the first workpiece mounting is displaceable relative to the second workpiece mounting in three dimensions or the second workpiece mounting is displaceable relative to the first workpiece mounting in in three dimensions.

2. The machining device as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein only one workpiece table is provided, and the first workpiece mounting or the second workpiece mounting is disposed so as to be displaceable relative to the workpiece table.

3. The machining device as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein two displaceable workpiece tables are provided, wherein the first workpiece mounting is connected to a first workpiece table and is disposed so as to be displaceable conjointly with the first workpiece table, and the second workpiece mounting is connected to the second workpiece table and is disposed so as to be displaceable conjointly with the second workpiece table.

4. The machining device as claimed in claim 3 ,
wherein the first workpiece mounting has a plurality of first chuck elements which are disposed on the first workpiece table, wherein each of the first chuck elements has first and second chuck jaws which are displaceable in at least one dimension relative to one another and relative to the first workpiece table, and
wherein the second workpiece mounting has a plurality of second chuck elements which are disposed on the second workpiece table, wherein each of the second chuck elements has first and second chuck jaws which are displaceable in at least one dimension relative to one another and relative to the second workpiece table.

5. The machining device as claimed in claim 4 ,
wherein the first or the second workpiece table is displaceable in a longitudinal direction.

6. The machining device as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the first or the second workpiece table is displaceable in at least one first direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

7. The machining device as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the plurality of first chuck elements, or the first or second chuck jaws thereof, respectively, are in each case displaceable in a first direction that is aligned so as to be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, or
the plurality of second chuck elements, or the first or second chuck jaws thereof, respectively, are in each case displaceable in a first direction that is aligned so as to be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

8. The machining device as claimed in claim 2 ,
wherein the one workpiece table is disposed so as not to be displaceable.

9. The machining device as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein the first workpiece mounting has a plurality of first chuck elements which are disposed on the workpiece table, wherein the first chuck elements have first and second chuck jaws which are displaceable in at least one dimension relative to one another and relative to the workpiece table, and
wherein the second workpiece mounting has a plurality of second chuck elements which are disposed on the workpiece table, wherein the second chuck elements have first and second chuck jaws which are displaceable in at least one dimension relative to one another and relative to the workpiece table.

10. The machining device as claimed in claim 9 ,
wherein the first chuck elements, or the first or second chuck jaws thereof, respectively, are displaceable also in a third dimension, or
the second chuck elements, or the first or second chuck jaws thereof, respectively, are displaceable also in a third dimension.

11. The machining device as claimed in claim 1 ,
further comprising a feed device configured to feed a workpiece to one of the workpiece mountings.

12. The machining device as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the workpiece table is adapted such that the at least one workpiece is movable in three dimensions when being re-chucked from the first workpiece mounting to the second workpiece mounting.

13. The machining device as claimed in claim 6 ,
wherein the first or the second workpiece table is displaceable in two directions that are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

14. The machining device as claimed in claim 7 ,
wherein the plurality of first chuck elements, or the first or second chuck jaws thereof, respectively, are in each case displaceable in a first direction that is aligned so as to be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and in a second direction that is aligned so as to be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and to the first direction, or
the plurality of second chuck elements, or the first or second chuck jaws thereof, respectively, are in each case displaceable in a first direction that is aligned so as to be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and are displaceable in a second direction that is aligned so as to be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and to the first direction.

15. A machining device for machining workpieces comprising wood, wood materials, or plastic, the device comprising
at least one workpiece table having a first workpiece mounting for holding at least one workpiece and a second workpiece mounting for holding the at least one workpiece,
wherein the workpiece table is adapted such that the at least one workpiece is movable in at least two dimensions when being re-chucked from the first workpiece mounting to the second workpiece mounting,
wherein two displaceable workpiece tables are provided, wherein the first workpiece mounting is connected to a first workpiece table and is disposed so as to be displaceable conjointly with the first workpiece table, and the second workpiece mounting is connected to the second workpiece table and is disposed so as to be displaceable conjointly with the second workpiece table,
wherein the first workpiece mounting has a plurality of first chuck elements which are disposed on the first workpiece table, wherein each of the first chuck elements has first and second chuck jaws which are displaceable in at least one dimension relative to one another and relative to the first workpiece table, and
wherein the second workpiece mounting has a plurality of second chuck elements which are disposed on the second workpiece table, wherein each of the second chuck elements has first and second chuck jaws which are displaceable in at least one dimension relative to one another and relative to the second workpiece table,
wherein each of the first chuck elements has first and second chuck jaws which are displaceable in two dimensions relative to one another and relative to the first workpiece table, and
wherein each of the second chuck elements has first and second chuck jaws which are displaceable in two dimensions relative to one another and relative to the second workpiece table.

16. The machining device as claimed in claim 15 ,
wherein the first workpiece mounting is displaceable relative to the second workpiece mounting in at least two dimensions, or the second workpiece mounting is displaceable relative to the first workpiece mounting in at least two dimensions.

17. The machining device as claimed in claim 15 ,
