Fourth axis: 

The 4th-axis is found in box in shelf and mounted on the table of the mill using the two Aluminum profiles. You will need to remove the “elevated” table if this is present and the probe if this is mounted. The 4th-axis connection-cable is connected inside the cabinet on the left side of the spindle and X axis.

You may need to turn on and off the machine to be able to use it. Will be visible on the PC and can turn A-axis (fourth axis) using the hand-held controller

To Generate code using fourth axis:

CAN use rotary in fusion, but need to set up the roland post prosessor for this as 3-axis is default:
