Abstract
Multiple cutting torches are automatically spaced along a torch bar operating parallel to a main beam spanning a cutting table with an apparatus and method allowing one or all of the cutting torches to be stored completely outside the cutting table when not in use, thereby retaining the entire cutting table width for effective access by the remaining operative cutting torches. This eliminates the need to have an extended main beam length simply to accommodate cutting torch storage. The torch bar provides primary support for the torch carriages and includes an end storage portion which can be moved laterally beyond the end of the main beam from which one or all of the cutting torches may be retrieved for subsequent programmed spacing and cutting operation.
