The challenge
JEKRAN company builds machines for metal sheet cutting, using waterjet, plasma and oxi sources. Some machines have two or more torches mounted on the head, in order to cut with different technologies.
The size of the machines varies from very small to big, and there is the possibility of using stepper motors. The central bridge is the main component of the machine, and it must be moved by two motors, placed at their sides.
The plasma source has a digital interface, for the definition of the cutting parameters. The CNC must communicate with that interface.
