I had not noticed that part of page about their 5 axis machine. "a machining volume of X=300” (7.65m) by Y=96” (2.4m) by Z=96” (2.4m)" - sounds like it is almost as large as my bedroom. But I wonder, if I have not missed something: in those pictures, where they are building the base for the machine: in 2nd picture from above there is a man in far left corner. do I understand correctly that in 4th picture they have filled with concrete all the space up to the level and even more, where the guy in 2nd picture is standing?
if that is just a base for machine, I suspect that the machine itself also will be very massive and very heavy to provide for rigidity and vibration damping in order to achieve the high precision in hard-to-machine materials. so the question is - what kind of bearings/slides are there to be used and what kind of actuators are to be used for such a machine? the same old Hiwin rails, but 3 or 4 instead of one and same old ballscrews with some extreme 10" diameter?
