Title: RTCP for a XYZCA (five axes) CNC
Post by: pjcevallos@gmail.com on March 13, 2026, 12:49:23 PM

Hi

Does Mach4 industry do the kinematics for 5 axes (RTCP)?

someone posted this very useful video of the explanation.

Any tips are welcomed for programming and setting up the machine as I could not find too much posts about the topic or manuals.

Yes, Mach4 is capable of 5-axis kinematics, including RTCP, but it's important to note that it usually requires the Industrial version and often depends on the specific motion controller you are using (like HiCON Integra or Vital Systems)

What are the common challenges faced during setup?
