A true work horse of manufacturing, the twin table configuration is designed for high volume manufacturing environments. A machine with this configuration eliminates the load time by alternating its machining process from left table to right table and back to left table in a continuous cycle. Sometimes referred to as pendulum style operation, it is the most efficient method of cutting parts and getting the most out of your investment into CNC technology. In addition, the dual head configuration allows the machine to produce double the parts in one cycle. Northwood can provide fixed, adjustable, and even servo controlled head spacing. We’ll help you get the production of two of our competitors machines with one Northwood. A gap between the worktables allows easy access for loading and unloading while the adjacent worktable is being machined. Northwood offers these with single spindle options or advanced dual-processing with twin tooling plates and independent X and Z axes.
