In April 2018 Modern Machine Shop mag, page 110, but I am not linking it here - b/c MMS doesn't have the full April issue online yet.
I kan't even find a worthy pic to post....
So I went to the Koma site directly, but their online info is piss poor at best.
So I went to Youtube, and found an only slightly more informative vid.
Anyhow - what this appears to be is a gear driven angle head, that can be indexed by means of the C axis of your spindle (if you have one) and then powered via your S axis, by means of an air powered internal clutch system in the head.
I cannot believe that someone would $pend all those bucks R&D'ing a product like this, then start an advertising campaign for such unit, and not have your site and youtube presence already in place.
I know that there is coolant driven units that will doo this - as that is much easier, but this one is gear driven.
I am actively searching for a job that will justify purchasing this unit as it's got a cool factor in the double digits!
