A strange gearless head is making five-axis machining of complicate contours easier and faster.

A strange gearless head is making five-axis machining of complicate contours easier and faster. Users in the aerospace and diemaking industries are the individuals most expected to benefit from its use.
The couple Axis Rotary Head from Bertsche Engineering Corp., Buffalo copse Ill., features Direct Drive servomotor technology, which eliminates gearing. This design provides high rotary acceleration for near-instantaneous head angle position mastery and the capability to instigate a spindle to any angle. In addition, the head has the ability to rotate tools around corners while pocket-milling angled
