4 Axis 3d CNC Router 4 Axis CNC Machine Price

The 4-axis CNC router machine is designed for 3D surface carving. The 4-axis refers to XYZA, XYZB, or XYZC, and the 4-axis is linked. These four axes can work at the same time. The 4-axis CNC router machine is the preferred method for advanced, complex cutting and engraving, such as those often seen in furniture, musical instruments, cabinets, etc.

The 4 axis 3d cnc router has many advantages such as maintenance-free, efficient CNC cutting system, and high-speed precision cutting. It can process wood, foam, medium density fiberboard, HPL, particleboard, plywood, acrylic, plastic, soft metal, and many other different materials. Customers can use different tools to complete the work according to process requirements. The four-axis CNC wood router machine will bring more production and profit to your store.

4 Axis CNC Routers vs 5 Axis CNC Routers 

While a 4 axis CNC milling machine is more advanced than a 3 axis, it is less advanced than a 5 axis machine. This is because in a 5 axis router there is rotation around each of the X, Y, and Z axes, and as well as the A-axis, there’s the B-axis that rotates around the Y-axis, and the C-axis that rotates around the Z-axis.

The reason it’s called a 5 axis machine rather than a 6 axis machine is that only two out of the three rotational axes can operate at the same time. This gives a 5 axis machine various advantages over a 4 axis one. 

As the rotation can occur by both the spindle and workpiece, these machines offer incredible accuracy across a range of different functions, such as milling and tuning. So, you can use a 5 axis machine to work on much more complex projects that would be a lot more difficult, or impossible, to do with a 4 axis machine. This includes highly specialized products, such as aerospace products, and even artificial bones for use in medicine.

5 axis machines are almost exclusively used in industrial settings. Their high price means they’re too expensive for most hobbyists, and in truth, a hobbyist is unlikely to even need the capabilities of a 5 axis router.

A detailed description of the 4 axis CNC router:

Swing Head

HQD 4.5KW air-cooled Spindle: High Speed, and very powerful.

Servo Motor and Reducer

Syntec 1000W Servo motor and high precision reducer, have high precision and good anti-jamming capability, higher torque.

PMI Square Linear Guide Rail

High speed, high precision, high rigidity, energy-saving, low noise, long service life, strong torque load capacity

Automatic Tool Calibration

Automatic Tool sensor: With automatic tool length calibration and alignment functions, the program can easily and accurately change the “Z” zero position one or more times, thus saving time and avoiding errors.

Vacuum Table

Our machine adopts a vacuum and T-slot dual-purpose workbench, which can use clamps to fix small-scale materials, which can save the power of the vacuum pump, and vacuum adsorption can also be used to fix large-scale materials.

Syntec Controller System

The controller has higher reliability, higher accuracy, and stronger anti-interference ability.

4 Axis CNC Machining Advantages

The major advantages of 4 axis CNC machining over 3 axis CNC machining is described below.

Reduced Setup Change: 4 axles machining allows working on parts from four different angles. This minimizes the need for unnecessary setup changes.

Higher Production Capacity: 4 axis machining can deal with more parts compared to 3 axis machining. Using a tombstone in a 4 axis machine more than quadruples the number of parts you can machine at a time.

More Efficient: Any 3 axis CNC router can be converted into a four axis CNC router. It requires a fairly small investment. But it greatly increases the production speed and capacity compared to the 3 axis CNC router.

Supports Milling & Turning: Machining cylindrical features are much easier with a 4 axis CNC machine. Unlike 3 axis equipment, both milling and turning of parts can be done with a single machine.

4 axis machines are costlier than a 3 axis machine. And adding a 4th axis to the existing equipment will need some investment as well. However, given the efficiency and production capacity of four axis machining, it can prove to be more economical in the long run.
