Just an idea, it may be a little complicated/expensive to even prototype, but could you operate the left tower AB with one controller and the right tower XY with another. That way each is independent of the other with its own controller/computer. I think that would make programming require a little more forthought.
are you cutting eps? I have actually just "busted my cherry" with hot wire cutting a couple days ago. I am only doing profile cutting, maybe you have some advise for a newbee. I am trying to v cut a thin 3/8" thick piece down approximately .33" deep. It will be a manual fixture, no NC. The material is XLPE with a Adhesive and a liner.
