I have a 15CL 4 axis machine and am looking to add a 5th axis. The new MAX software can handle up to 6 axis so I am looking to add a trunnion to the A axis and mount another rotary axis on the trunnion table.

My question is how to control the 5th axis?? The existing controller from MAXNC only controls 4 axis. Is it possible to add another controller to control just the extra axis? And if so, are there issue I need to deal with regarding synching them?

thanks,
Brent
