My knowledge of the different types of 4th axis machining is limited, so could you give me an example of what you mean.
Basically I want to mill 3d organic objects like a human head or something that would other wise be impractical to position and reposition manually. After speaking with a engineer at a software company today whos program only did indexing, he explained that I needed a program that did continuous 4th axis machining.
So the side mounted rotary table is constantly being moved to allow the cutting bit to enter at the most opportune angles for fastest and most accurate cutting. |
