Various 5-axis accessories can be used with numerical control (NC) machines to enhance their capabilities and increase their productivity. Here are a few examples:

1. Rotary tables: A rotary table is a device that can be attached to an NC machine's table to provide additional rotational axes. This allows the machine to perform 5-axis machining by rotating the workpiece in multiple directions. Rotary tables can be horizontal or vertical and manually or automatically indexed.

2. Tool changers: A tool changer is a device that can automatically change the cutting tools on an NC machine. 5-axis tool changers can hold various tools, allowing the machine to perform complex machining operations without requiring manual tool changes.

3. Probes: Probes are devices that can be used to measure the position and orientation of the workpiece or cutting tool. 5-axis probes can be used to perform on-machine inspection, tool setting, and workpiece setup, which can help reduce setup time and improve accuracy.

4. Workholding devices: Workholding devices are used to secure the workpiece to the NC machine's table. 5-axis work holding devices can be designed to hold complex shapes, allowing the machine to perform 5-axis machining operations without the need for additional setups.

5. Coolant systems: Coolant systems are used to cool and lubricate the cutting tool and workpiece during machining operations. 5-axis coolant systems can be designed to deliver coolant to specific areas of the cutting tool or workpiece, allowing for improved accuracy and longer tool life.

These are just a few examples of 5-axis accessories that can be used with NC machines. The specific accessories used will depend on the machining operation type and the workpiece's requirements.
