A process for separating a processing plate-shaped material in a machine and a machine for separating processing of the plate-shaped material, in particular for carrying out the method

The invention relates to a method of separating processing of a plate-like material (8) in a machine (2) comprising a processing station (5) in a machine base frame (44) which is associated with a loading and unloading station (10), in which on one between the processing station (5) and the loading and unloading station (10) a plate-shaped material (8) is placed movable pallet (11) and wherein the pallet (11) moved into the processing station (5) for a subsequent machining process and a pallet carrier (46) is positioned for the subsequent processing of the plate material (8), wherein before the start of the machining process of the plate-like material (8) lifted off the pallet (11) with an air spring means (42) from the pallet carrier (46) and decoupled is positioned to the pallet carrier (46).
