5-Axis Machining Alternatives There are currently three alternatives to achieving full 5-axis machining capabilities: Dedicated 5-axis Machining Center Tilting / Rotary Table Spindle Head Attachment Tri-Tech Model 5414 head attachment is fully programmable and can be used to convert nearly any 3-axis CNC machine to a true, simultaneous 5-axis machining center. The M5414 has a wide range of motion including tilt capability of +/- 90° and continuous 360° rotary motion. Because the M5414 is a spindle attachment, it can access all points of the machining center's work envelope. The M5414 is portable and can be mounted, in thirty (30) minutes, with no modification to the host machine. At nearly 150 pounds, the M5414 is a heavy duty attachment yet compact enough to attach to many smaller to mid-size machines. While the "low priced" 5-axis machining centers are fairly rigid, they cannot match the rigidity of their 3-axis counterparts for significant metal removal. The M5414 allows the user to perform all significant metal removal using the heavy duty 3-axis machining center then mount the M5414 attachment (30 minutes) to complete 5-axis profiling, holes, pockets, etc. *Refers to U.S. domestic pricing only.
