Hi Dear AjaxLiviu

Thank you for your reply.

No, I don't buy any ajax System yet but i really need to retrofit my old 3 axis machine to 5 axis.
I think if i machining a part and then measure but i don't know what shape can do the test completely. Can you please help me?


Thank you

sml2011,

How are you planning on doing your 4th and 5th axis? Our boards are capable of 6-8 axis if that is what you are asking? I am a little confused on what you are trying to test.

I want you help me to know if i retrofit my old five axis machine with ajax cnc board, how can i test all five axis and know that does it work precise or need toning or backlash.....?


I am looking to know some method for est my 5 axis cnc machine after retrofit it with ajax cnc board.

Thank you

We do not have any type of program that will test the capabilities of a 5-axis system. The only thing that we do have is the Euclid Block program, which I believe is Industry Standard, that tests a standard 3-axis Mill system. Thanks.
