Hi

I have seen a CNC machine with X, Y, Z, C, and B. I do understand that B-axis is the rotation axis along Y-axis in a multi-axis machine with a milling head that can move to a certain degree.

But in the machine that I saw, it includes a turret only without a milling head.

So my question is what does that represent? and why do we need it?

machine>>> LYNX 2100LSY

Thanks...
