Very small torsion axles

Sounds cool, but a picture would really help me here. Also, does that mill not have ballscrews, or is there some other reason you're conventional cutting?

My web host is offline this morning due to a fiber outage... the pics will re-appear once the issue is sorted.

The machine has ball screws. The pocketing was done conventional because the CAM software generated a cleaner path convention rather than climb. It is something odd with the CAM software. Being that time was critical we just ran with it. This was one of the first times messing with hsm paths on this mill. For being a convention mill with limited rpms it did ok.

I got a look a the pictures early this morning before the server issue. Looks very cool. I was inspecting in Hopper and recall getting a brief look at your drive train, but not at this. Do you have a picture showing the complete track drive?

This design was to replace the limited suspension used in completion but the upper arm design wasn't quite right. They took them to St. Louis but didn't end up installing them. They made for a great conversation piece. My understanding is that the upper arms have been modified and they will be installed in the fall for Girl's Generation. We are off for the summer. I don't think I have a picture from testing... they don't let me out of the shop much.

I'll see if I can dig up a photo.
