Giben adds to nesting CNC arena with 2016 IWF Challengers Semi-finalist
By Bill Esler
Giben

Giben says its new model Giben by Anderson GS CNC router offers linear motor technology on both X and Y axis for incredible speeds for both positioning and machining. On a typical nest, the movements are done in a fraction of the time required on a conventional machine due to the instantaneous reactions, aggressive accelerations and higher top speeds, Giben says. 

It's among 39 of the 2016 IWF Challengers Award Semi-finalist, a wood industry technology and supplies recognition program. In coming weeks the field will be narrowed as the Challengers Award Finalists are announced, and on August 23, the day before the IWF exposition opens, judges will visit all the competing entrants at the WOrld Congress Center.

On August 24, the Winners will be announced. Woodworking Network will publish the winners online in breaking news, and in the IWF Show Daily newspaper, distributed on August 25 in Atlanta.
