he gantry is moving above the cutting surface inside a mobile safety cabin which is always above the currently active cutting zone. Meanwhile the second cutting zone is being unloaded and subsequently loaded by the operators. The gantry may move only inside the safety cabin with the exception of maintenance when it may be moved a little outside the cabin as shown in Fig. 2

The gantry moves on accurate linear guidelines which are separated from the cutting table. Covers on these guidelines protect them from damage which may be caused during manipulation with material above the machine. The safety cabin moves on separate guidelines and is driven by two-sided synchronized electric drive.
All the electronics are located in the rear part of the safety cabin in order for the length of all the electric cables, optical cables, cooling fluid lines, etc. to be minimal.
