5-axis Wireless Rotary Tombstone

In today's environment, 5-axis has become a necessity, according to KME CNC. It helps push shops towards limitless capabilities. KME CNC's new 5-axis tombstone configuration has advanced it even further. It now allows shops to do 5-axis machining wirelessly. They can now upgrade all of their existing horizontal equipment to 5-axis machining with even less limitations. This new platform allows immense flexibility, such as pallet pool, cell or stand-alone applications.

The wireless system is an address-based system. The way it works is with a router and receiver connection platform. Each tombstone is defined by its specific address, therefore when entering the machining envelope, it makes itself available to the router. At that time, the router only engages that specific tombstone and that specific tombstone. An individual router is capable of recognizing multiple discrete addresses, allowing it to control tombstones that are in a pallet-racking system as they become available in the machining envelope.
