Is this 5-axis machine possible with LinuxCNC?

I've designed a router for a specific job requirement for my company. 

Requirement : Engraving letters on a curved surface (Tire Mold Side Walls).

X, Z, C, B axis must work simultaniously.

I want this machine to operate on LinuxCNC but there is no kinematics available.

C and B axis are different than examples in the 5-Axis Kinematics pdf provided by Linuxcnc. 

Is this machine possible?

 

There is a XYZBC kinematics module but the example shows the B axis tilting the C axis
Is the maths any different if the B rotates around the head? I'm not sure that it is.

I just named them from my head, I am not sure if I named the axis corrently.

Yes, though you might have to modify one of the existing kins modules. 

I think it is actually the same as this machine, which uses "maxkins"





What might be more difficult is finding software to convert text into suitable G-code. 

 

Thank you so much Andy!

I currently have 4 axis EspritCAM and planning to buy 5 Axis module for CAM. Re-seller provide G-code support. I think I can figure that out this way. What do you think?

Does it produce TCP code (tool point position and orientation) or does it do the kinematics in CAM (based on an internal model of your machine)? Both can work. The former is more flexible (tool diameter comp works, for example) but the second might be simpler.

FInd out before you get fancy with kinematics.
