5 axis Horizontal machine tool configuration.

[HAMHAM]

Hi, guys.

 

i was reading a description about a machine tool, i am a noob, so i do not understand some concepts.

 

Like ... "5xHMCHHBA" = i think its a 5 axis, horizontal , machine, center, head, head, A axis (-+110deg) mounted in B axis (-+360) deg.

 

so, also says, A axis rotates around and axis parallel to X axis. = i think its correct because A axis is mounted in B axis , so im ok whith these statement.

 

but next line make me nuts, " B AXIS rotation , is parallel to Y axis" = i think thise statement is wrong because b axis rotation is not parallel to Y axis because it is a horizontal HMC.

 

i am wrong whit my statement about b-y axis?

 

thank you guys.

semantics, but the statement is correct.

i'd prefer to say B axis rotates 'about' Y axis ..
