Hello everyone,
I'm using the default 5-axis machine in the Surface Machining Workbench to output some sweeping operations to a custom built, sort-of CNC machine. It's working nice, with different tools et al.

I would like to add a custom tool head to the default 5-axis machine in order to check for collision with the working piece.

The custom tool head would be something like this (just an example to show the size).

Is this even possible without building a 5-axis machine from scratch in the NC Machine Tool Builder?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: this is on V5R6.
