Powerful CNC platform provides economic solution for twin-head steel cutter CNC kernel controls 16 axes including dual oxy-acetylene cutting heads - Oxyser has dramatically increased the throughput of its oxy-acetylene steel cutting machinery, and automated the process, by developing a new twin-head machine controlled by NUM’s Axium CNC platform. In total, this powerful CNC kernel controls 16 motor axes to manage the motion of a gantry with two positioning heads - each fitted with mobile oxy-acetylene cutting torches. Visit website The machine has just been commissioned at Grupo Ros Casares’ plant in Aviles, Spain, where it is being used initially to produce steel plate sections required to construct wind turbine generator towers. The shaped plates are typically cut with bevelled edges so
