Currently i manually machine 2 stroke engine liners in a Dividing head tilted to various angles for different ports. I set the angle for said port, wind the handle X amount of turns and degrees, move Z axis a few mm, turn handle back etc.
What options do i have for a tilting 4th axis for CNC? Would be used on a Robodrill.
I dont need anything large, parts are less than 2 inches long.
Ive never seen such a setup, is a 5 axis unit the only option?
Prices for 4 or 5 axis units are astronomical! I wouldnt be scared to build my own hardware, add suitable servos and drivers, depending on how difficult to integrate it.
