What is a 4-axis CNC machine?
What is a 4-axis CNC machine?
A 4-axis CNC machine is an extension of the classic 3-axis CNC machine, with an additional CNC rotational axis or a spindle on a portal along the Y axis. This allows for greater flexibility alongside easy operation.
A CNC milling machine generally consists of 3 axes and is therefore often referred to as a 3-axis machine or a 3D machine. There are 3 spindle processing axes: X, Y and Z (vertical). CNC milling machines with 4 axes use the same mechanisms and have an additional axis.
What can be achieved with a 4-axis CNC machine?
What can be achieved with a 4-axis CNC machine?
The fourth axis of a 4-axis CNC machine is a rotational axis which comprises a chuck and a headstock with a cylindrical tip. The chuck is connected to the motor, which ensures the product rotates together with the CNC swivel table. The headstock can move in the space, allowing you to set the distance between the components of the mechanism. The result is a system which can quickly and precisely position and process products of different sizes from all sides.
What are the 4 axes when milling with CNC machines?
What are the 4 axes when milling with CNC machines?
● Movements left and right along the X-axis
● Movements forwards and backwards along the Y-axis
● Movements upwards and downwards along the Z-axis
● The huge additional benefit of the moving rotational axis compared to 3-axis CNC machines
