Q Configuration
In this configuration, the second axis is rolled onto its side and mounted in a fixed
position on the first-axis' slide, so that the second axis' slide is perpendicular to the work
surface. The third (Z) axis' slide is mounted to the second-axis' slide so that the entire third
axis operates in an up-down ’Z’ motion (perpendicular to the work surface).
NOTE: In the Q configuration, the tooling is mounted to the bottom end of
the third axis.
Available in the following configurations:
• Q1120
• Q1230
• Q2330
