    Question 3040 5 Axis "Z" axis reach/travel?

    Hi,
    Hoping someone here can answer this by measuring their machines "Z" Axis travel?
    Wanting to know what the "Z" distance is in inches (MAX n MIN) from the center of the "C" Axis when the "A" Axis is at + or -90 deg to the tip of the spindle nose/collet.
    Looks like the "Z" Axis can be adjusted on the column and the spindle can be adjusted in the spindle clamp also.
    I know the add states 150mm or 5.9" but hoping to get a REAL number. Maybe some pics also...

    Thanks, MM

    I do not have the machine, yet? Just trying to get some real numbers to see if it will work for what I need it to make?
