These table on table machines are supported:
- B and A stacked rotary tables - these milling machines rotate about the Y-axis, then around the X-axis. They are also called
B over A machines.
- A and B stacked rotary tables - these machines rotate about X-axis then around the Y-axis. These machines are also known as A over B machines.
- 45 degree angled B and C stacked rotary tables -
rotate the B table about a 45 degree angled axis and then rotate about the C table.
- 45 degree angled A and C stacked rotary tables - rotate the A table about a 45 degree angled axis and then rotate about the C table.
- 5-axis positioning and 5-axis simultaneous on table on table machines - neither automatic correction of tool length offset nor 3D coordinate transformation is needed. FeatureCAM transforms the toolpath according to the rotations of the tables, so the coordinate system is always matches that of the machine. Also, automatic correction of tool length offset is not needed because the tool does not rotate (only the tables do).
