    adding a 4th axis.....

    Hi all

    I've got a new hurco vm5i on the way, do I need to use all hurco parts? anyone fitted a 4th to a newer hurco?

    I fitted a Kitagawa table to a VM5i. Are you considering putting it on a subtable so the 4th is outside the work envelope?

    which did you fit?

    Yes, given there's almost 12" of space, I'd like to fix subtable in place and have the 4th occupying that area. have you got a vm5i or just fit them?

    Thanks for the reply.

    I work for Hurco in the UK. It was a small 100mm dia Kitagawa (I can’t remember the model number off the top of my head but I could find the parameter sheets I wrote up for it and find out from there).
    The biggest pain in the butt was finding a place to put the Servopack.

    that would be amazing. I've been told a 160/200 fit also. Seems a minefield.
