What is Multi-Head

Multi-Head refers to a series of attachments that connect to the head of your CNC machine.

Each head has:

• A dedicated tool number

• Its own work offset coordinates from the main spindle

All heads are mounted to a common Z-axis and are moved into position using the Up/Down signal for that head unit.

In most machines, this movement is done using a pneumatic cylinder.
