A process for separating, collecting and storing pieces cut from one or more metal sheets and resulting from at least one cutting step, during which one or more pieces, variously arranged and configured, have been cut on the metal sheet. The present invention concerns also the system implementing this process.
An automatic machining system includes a loading station for loading pieces to be machined on one or more loading pallets, a base or platform on which the following are installed in predefined positions: the loading station (10), a loader, a robot configured to handle the pieces, and at least one unloading station where the machined pieces are unloaded. The automatic machining system also includes protection sides installed along the perimeter of the base or platform, with at least one movable partition for the insertion/extraction of the loading pallets.

Compact and preassembled automatic processing system
An automatic processing system includes a base or platform, on which a loading station is mounted, adapted to house one or more trolleys having workpieces to be processed, a magazine adapted to pick up at least one work piece at a time from the loading station and to transport it to a centering device adapted to receive the workpiece and to place it in pick-up position by a robot, and a unloading station where the processed pieces are positioned.
This is an automatic processing system (1) comprising a base or platform (100) on which a loading station (10) is mounted, intended to house one or more trolleys (11, 12) with the workpieces (P) to be processed, a magazine (20), suited to pick up at least one work piece (P) at a time from the loading station (10) and to transport it to a centring device (30), in turn suited to receive said workpiece (P) and place it in the pick-up position by a robot (60) and a unloading station (80) where the processed pieces (P) are positioned.
