Re: I want to add a high speed 4th axis, Will a servo motor run at high speeds?
Are you talking about a Live Axis?
Usually the X axis on a lathe.
Although it sounds as though you want to spin the part like a lathe chuck, not so clear what you are doing? You also mention positioning?
The three axis that rotate around the X,Y,Z are noted as A,B,C axis.
What is the nature of the present machine?
AC servo motors can easily achieve 3krpm.
