Hi Dave is there any chance of adding a fifth axis dro for five axis machining, I am at the moment converting my machine to a full five axis setup and have now used your screenset from launch and do not want to have to use another just to get an extra dro, please do another dro I am sure that others are going to get into the five axis bug soon. Thanks Alan

Hi Alan, Hi Dave is there any chance of adding a fifth axis dro for five axis machining, I am at the moment converting my machine to a full five axis setup and have now used your screenset from launch and do not want to have to use another just to get an extra dro, please do another dro I am sure that others are going to get into the five axis bug soon. Thanks Alan We do not have any current plans to add a 5 axis version of the MSM software. However, you can create a customized version of MSM to have the additional axis display. If you choose to do this, I suggest using the MSM 12x9 resolution screens as they will have more space to add the additional axis information. If you need this for commercial use, it may make sense to discuss with you the possibility of doing a 5 axis variation as a custom consulting project. If you are interested in that approach, please contact me directly. Dave

Hi Dave this is purely a hobby request I retired some time ago now due to poor health and I play around with my machine just to give me something to do, hence the adding of the fifth axis 3 axis worked fine so thought I would just have a play around keeping myself occupied through the winter months, will have a look and see if playing around with screen is something that I can get my head round. Many thanks Alan

OK. It would be mostly MachScreen work to shuffle things around and/or reducing the size of the existing 4 axes to make more room or another in the same original panel/area.
You might need a couple of more LED Graphics (B or C) for the 5th axis that don't exist today. I might be talked into making those up for you if you tackle this project.
I just don't have enough 5 axis customers to justify my making a 5 axis specific variation and then it would incur the expense of my having to maintain it as part of each release etc. Just multiples the testing cycle time and effort.
Dave
