Tormach microArc 4th axis any good?

Post by rk9268vc »

Im looking to get a 4th axis for my PM-30MV
Im not really looking for simultaneous, more so 3 + 1 so I can do 4 sides of a part in one setup
I do a lot of parts with holes and features on all 6 sides, so instead of 6 setups, it would be nice to do the bulk of it with a 4th axis

How well does Acorn work with Fusion for 4th axis stuff? I am assuming it will work, but havent tried. Things to look out for?

I am liking this particular 4th axis because it has a harmonic drive instead of worm and wheel. Since I need to hold parallelism between opposite sides, I need it to hold pretty rigid when milling

Anyone have experience with this? Thanks
