Abstract

See full text

A system, apparatus, and method for releasing laser cut work pieces from a sheet of metal are provided. The system includes a support structure supporting a sheet of metal. A work piece is laser cut within the sheet of metal without completely cutting the work piece from the sheet of metal. At least one bracing member is connected to the support structure, whereby the bracing member partially inhibits movement of the sheet of metal when the sheet of metal experiences vibrations. A vibration device is engaged with the sheet of metal. Vibrating the sheet of metal causes the work pieces to separate from the sheet of metal.
