In any FIDIA's head, the A and C axes performs high dynamic continuous interpolation as well as the 3+2 positioning mode. During a full 5 axes machining, the rotative axes (A,C or both) can be stiffly clamped by means of powerful hydraulic brakes, exploiting the maximum torque of the spindle. The axes cinematic chain is provided with life-time automatic backlash recovery and is able to perform 0.001° resolution positioning. M5A and M5C heads enhance the high speed cutting performance and fit over most GTF applications; thanks to their compact structures a easy tool access to the narrowest areas...
