What is Multi-Head

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

Each head will have a dedicated tool number and work offsets coordinates from the main spindle.

Each head is mounted to a common Z axis and is moved into position using the Up/Down signal for that head unit.

The move into position is usually done using a pneumatic cylinder.

Multi-head is not designed for machines that have individual Z axis drives
