The 5th Element 360i Index Plate is a patent-pending indexing system designed to bring 5-axis indexing capability to compatible 4-axis CNC machines.
Using your machine’s existing movement, this workholding device unlocks, indexes the workpiece to a programmed position, and locks securely back into place—allowing the machine to continue cutting without the operator manually removing and repositioning the part.
By reducing the number of setups required to machine complex parts, The 5th Element 360i Index Plate can help shops reduce operator intervention, increase machine utilization, improve positional consistency, and create longer unattended production cycles. Multiple units can also be mounted across compatible trunnion setups, allowing several workpieces to move through the machining process in a single extended cycle.
The result is more capability from the equipment you already own—without the investment and complexity of purchasing a traditional 5-axis machine.
Fewer setups. Longer cycles. More from your 4th axis.
