Abstract
Abstract An arrangement for cutting workpieces with a scanning device having a signalling photoresistor which detects markings, with an attached control device which contains a first timing element to which a switch for reducing the rate of speed is connected includes an OR-element connected between the first timing element and the switch with a further timing element connected by means of an AND-element to the input and output of the timing element with the input of the further timing element being connected to the output of the AND-element and the output of the further timing element being operationally connected to the input of the OR-element.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
In an arrangement for cutting workpieces with a scanning device which includes a signalling photo-detector for detecting markings and with an attached control device which contains a first timing element to which is connected a switch for switching to a reduced rate of feed, the improvement being an OR-element connected between said first timing element and said switch, a further timing element being connected by means of an AND-element to the input and the output of said first timing element, the input of said further timing element being connected to the output of said AND-element, and the output of said further timing element being operationally connected to an input of said OR-element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
In an arrangement for cutting workpieces with a scanning device which includes a signalling photo-detector for detecting markings and with an attached control device which contains a first timing element to which is connected a switch for switching to a reduced rate of feed, the improvement being an OR-element connected between said first timing element and said switch, a further timing element being connected by means of an AND-element to the input and the output of said first timing element, the input of said further timing element being connected to the output of said AND-element, and the output of said further timing element being operationally connected to an input of said OR-element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized by a further input of the OR-element being connected to the output of the signalling photodetector.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
Arrangement according to claim 2, characterized by the output of an automatic initial cut control being attached to an other input of the OR-element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized by the output of an automatic initial cut control being attached to an other input of the OR-element.
