Examples

Fork head, inclined-axis head
Rotary axes are frequently used on 5-axis milling machines to swivel the tool axis or rotate the
workpiece. These machines can position the tip of a tool on any point on the workpiece and take
up any position on the tool axis. Various milling heads are required, depending on the
application. The figure shows a fork head and an inclined-axis head as example rotary-axis
arrangements.
