We are launching a new version of the MEGA HORNET during the summer of 2009 - the MEGA HORNET 2000. You can see a preview by viewing the slide show below.

Also, the current MEGA HORNET will soon be renamed the MEGA HORNET 3000. This name change will allow for product differentiation as we continue building the MEGA HORNET series.

  MEGA HORNET sets a new higher standard for accuracy, power and reliability in a heavy duty CNC profile cutting machine. MEGA HORNET’s huge frame and massive servo drives will deliver decades of reliable service to shipyards, service centers and manufacturers.

A welded and stress relieved double box gantry beam and fabricated steel end trucks enable the MEGA HORNET to span up to 30 feet (9.1m) and carry up to 16 cutting and marking processes. The MEGA HORNET comes with the Mariner™ motion control capable of controlling up to (12) axes of machine motion. MEGA HORNET incorporates industry’s most reliable AC servo amplifiers and servo motors, precision planetary gearboxes, precision ground cross axis linear ways and a heavy duty machined floor mounted rail system.

MEGA HORNET is designed for shipyards, service centers, contract shops and manufacturers and is available in widths from 10 ft to 30 ft. Lengths of over 200 ft or more can be supplied.
