5 Axis Router

[wilsonbuilt78]

Hi All

Was wondering if any one on this Forum knows of or has seen a 5 axis router in action in SA?

I am looking to purchase one and would like to see one in operation.

Any help in this regard would be apreciated

Hi,

I am busy building a 5 axis gantry router. Machine envelope of 10 meters x 3.6 meters x 2.5 meter high.

I am using SoftServo to drive yaskawa drives and motors. Racks and gears for X Y and Z. We bought a 2 axis servo head with a 8kw water cooled spindle from HSD.

Hope to have the beast making noise and dust in the next 2 months. Let me know if you want to come have a look, We are in Cape Town.
