Duality Lathe 4th Axis

About Duality Lathe 4th Axis

The Duality Lathe™ 4th Axis attachment allows you to convert your Duality Lathe headstock in to a 4th-axis, allowing you to cut keyways, pockets, helixes, etc. on turned parts with a single setup. It shares the same electronic integration components as our other 4th axis products.

It utilizes a zero backlash harmonic drive to achieve a high gear reduction without the need for multi-stage planetary gear system.  This provides ultimate utility, allowing it to share electronic integration with our conventional 4th-axis kit.

Kit includes motor and driver, wiring kit, and harmonic drive gears.  The driver is not necessary if a conventional rotary 4th axis kit has already been installed.
