Hey guys, I need some advice with getting into 4th axis machining at work. We have a Hardinge VMC600 with the 4th axis option installed. The machine is a 1999 we bought new but never needed the 4th axis option so we never bought the power index head for it.
Now we have a job that will need it. I have no idea what to buy, my boss wants me to look into it for him. Right now I'm indexing the part by hand with an old hartford index head with program stops, it sucks, coolant dripping all over my arms.
I've been looking on ebay and I'm seeing a lot of nice stuff but I don't know what will work with our machine.
Thanks,
Joe
