Falcon

The Falcon features a transverse drive motor with precision rack and pinion gear, together with backlash-free gears and drives which give high cutting and positioning speeds. The linear guiding with AC motors ensures accurate travel of the torch carriage with smooth rapid acceleration. Two tool carriages are attached to a zero-backlash steel band which - contrary to conventional steel ropes - is not susceptible to slag deposits. The rapid-action coupling allows for efficient manual positioning of the tool carriages.
