The invention relates to a numerically controlled tool-holding device for jet/beam cutting. It is a device designed specifically for the requirements of jet/beam cutting of thick, plate-shaped components, and it is to be understood as a component of a gantry-type, robot-like machine. With the aid of this device it is possible to change the orientation of the jet/beam-producing tool (3) relative to the component and to produce the bevel forms which are usual in this plate thickness range - very flat bevels of great length are typical - without the risk of collisions and with particularly great accuracy. The device is designed to withstand the environmental stress which prevails during jet/beam cutting of thick, plate-shaped components, i.e. great heat and the production of large amounts of dust. It is characterized in that the tip of the torch or the TCP (6) of a jet/beam-producing tool (3) has a normal distance from the pivot axis (4) which is greater than the extent of the housing (8) in a plane perpendicular to said pivot axis (4), and the horizontal part of the connecting element (5a) is designed in such a manner that its distance from the pivot axis (4) is greater than that between the TCP (6) and said pivot axis (4), and the range of motion of the jet/beam-producing tool (3) about the pivot axis (4) is significantly greater than 180 degrees.

L'invention concerne un dispositif porte-outil à commande numérique pour l'usinage par faisceau, spécialement adapté aux besoins de l'usinage par faisceau d'éléments en forme de plaques épaisses et constituant une pièce d'une machine de type portique comparable à un robot. Ce dispositif permet d'orienter un outil (3) générant un faisceau relativement à un élément et de réaliser, sans risque de collision et avec une très grande précision, des formes de chanfreins usuelles pour l'épaisseur de tôles utilisées, typiquement des chanfreins très plats et de grande longueur. Le dispositif est conçu pour résister aux sollicitations de l'environnement régnant lors de l'usinage par faisceau d'éléments en forme de plaques épaisses, à savoir une chaleur élevée et un fort dégagement de poussière. L'invention est caractérisée en ce que la pointe du chalumeau ou le TCP (point central) (6) d'un outil générant un faisceau (3) se trouve à une distance normalisée par rapport à l'axe d'orientation (4), distance qui est supérieure à l'étendue du boîtier (8) sur un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe d'orientation (4), et la partie horizontale de l'élément de liaison (5a) est conçue de manière que son espacement relativement à l'axe d'orientation (4) est supérieur à l'espacement entre le TCP (6) et l'axe d'orientation (4), le rayon de déplacement de l'outil générant un faisceau (3) autour de l'axe d'orientation (4) étant largement supérieure à 180 degrés.
