Hello! im looking for a machine like this with 5 plasma torches for cutting metal stripes.One torch has to be fully cnc on XY axes and rest of them could be "loose" and manually adjusted on Y axis.THC needed on all of them.
Any recommendations? Would it be difficult to upgrade this machine with extra torches including THC? Or any other ideas how to attack this with least amount of money? Currently have 20meter long oxyfuel cutting table,would like to add plasma gantry on it aswell.
Mechanical side like rails that grantry is traveling on would figure my self,so it doesnt have to use same tracks as current machine.
Thanks!!

Re: Plasma cutting gantry with multiple torches question
It would seem to me you could use the stand alone type THC for each torch and slave all the Z axis motors as one. It would require each torch to have the add on THC drivers and motors, to keep the cut height on each torch correct.
