Vehicular Apparatus And Method For CNC Metal Cutting Operations At Unpowered Jobsites
20180264602 · 2018-09-20 ·

The present inventive concept discloses design providing for the mounting of a CNC cutting machine upon a sturdily framed wheeled vehicle. The vehicular cutting machine can then be transported upon its own integral structure, to practically any jobsite. This mobility is a particular advantage to the customer at the jobsite where there is a requirement for a smaller number of precision parts in a short time during a plant or facility start-up, shutdown, or power outage. The inventive concept presents a method of use of CNC cutting machines that has not been used in the metal-cutting industry, oftentimes because of harsh road environments or the sheer difficulty of designing and building a self-powered, self-equipped CNC cutting machine. The present inventive concept negates the problems previously encountered by the prior art, and makes possible a cutting machine which is transportable and immediately available for operation upon reaching a designated website.
