This axis is programmable independently from the other axis in its" Z path. It allows the 5 axis machine to perform heavy 3 axis machining, for example in tool making to use the machine for the machining of models or to clamp a sawblade for the milling of bath tubs.
A trimming spindle GEISS ER 16 is fitted to the axis. Alternatively, all spindles and cutting knives can be fitted as stated under Option 5).
Please note:
When fitting this additional vertical axis, the working path of the X axis is reduced by 500mm as the additional axis requires this space. If necessary, request a machine Quotation No. with an increased X-axis size by 500 mm.
