5-axis Platters

July 27, 2016

Designed specifically for Vertical Machining Centers, KME CNC’s 5-axis platters are built right into a precision rigid meehanite cast iron trunnion frame and table. Standard models come with 1, 2, or 3 independent 5-axis platters on the trunnion table, giving your VMC full-range production capability.

Custom 5-axis trunnions can be made to specific matching needs including different drive configuration, large or smaller sizes, less or more platters. Just like the 5-axis tombstones, KME CNC’s trunnions are able to completely integrate with control systems, so you do not need to program the control box. Our units will work with direct g-code from your machine controls.
