4 Axis Woodworking CNC Router For Wood/Acrylic/MDF Engraving/Carving

What is a 4 Axis Woodworking CNC Router?

The number of axes is controlled by the 4 Axis CNC Router engraving machine control system. Four-axis linkage must first have four controllable axes, and four axes can be controlled by interpolation motion at the same time, that is, four axes can realize simultaneous linkage control, and the movement speed at the same time is the combined speed, and It is not the respective motion control. It is another point where space moves through the four axes simultaneously to space. It moves from the starting point to the endpoint and stops at the same time.

The moving speed of each axis in the middle is calculated by the motion of the controller according to the programming speed. The algorithm is internally synthesized to the speed of each axis. For the four-axis machining center, the X, Y, and Z axes are added with a rotation axis A (which can also be the B axis or the C axis. The definitions of the A, B, and C axes are respectively corresponding to the rotation around the X, Y, and Z axes.

The shaft, generally the fourth axis is the A axis of the axis rotating around the X-axis or the B axis of the axis rotating around the Y-axis, depending on the installation position of the fourth axis on the actual machine tool, and this fourth axis is not only the fourth axis but also the fourth axis It can be moved alone and can also be linked to one or two other axes or four axes simultaneously. Similarly, the total number of axes of a four-axis linkage machine can be more than four axes, it can have five axes or more, but its maximum number of linkage axes is four axes.

4 Axis CNC Router Fixture Ideas

There are two ways of fixing your 4 axis CNC router:

Moving gantry – If you choose a moving gantry, you will have a lot more space to work with because of the absence of a second table (as in a fixed gantry). Plus, this fixture is better for larger cutting/milling projects where you want to do all-round carving without affecting the carving angle.

Moving table – Although it takes up more space, this fixture is stronger and better for longer hours of machining. At igoldencnc CNC, our double moving table 4 Axis CNC Router allow you to off-load and re-load the table as needed, without disturbing the other table midst operation.

Features of 4 Axis CNC Router:

Two independent working spindles can finish two work-piece at the same time, also cna use two different tools to finish two different designs one by one automatically.

Specia Vacuum system with vacuum table with movable suction block, vacuum pump and tubes.

Heavy bistratal side plates, which can keep large supporting power for the gantry's moving perfectly.

Independently Electric control Box, with perfect wiring nad free moving pulleys.

All axes use original Taiwan Hiwin big size guide rail. X and Y adopts big size rack with helical gear transmission mode, the moment of force will be transferred more powerful and equably.

Adopts gantry movement, that can process any kind of materials freely.

Heavy model with thick seamless steel lath body structure. By strict vibration aging technology to remove the internal stress, dust-free sandblassting paint process, long-term use without deformation.

Every spindle working size cab be up to 1300mm*2500mm.

Excellent compatibility for all G ode design software .. Advanced file pretreatment function can correct the error in the files and is compatible with the process codes of multiple national and international software

Optional Configuration or Device Concerning This  4 Axis Woodworking CNC Router

• Movable adsorption blocks - It can quickly complete the clamping and adsorption of different arc surfaces and significantly improve productivity. 

• Dust collector.

You might be wondering: which one is better for a 4 axis cnc router, automatic tool change spindle, or manual one?

Pro Tip: It is best to use an ATC spindle for spindle swing type 4 axis cnc router. Because calculating the tool length is a very time-consuming task without RTCP. The project is usually impossible to complete with one tool. If the machine is coming with an MTC spindle, after the first tool complete machining, we need to calculate the length of the second tool first, and then do the toolpath programming. It shows that the MTC spindle is very inefficient. But it’s totally fine to go with it if your project can be complete by one tool only.

In conclusion, from the perspective of technics and configuration, this is the best 4 axis cnc router with an automatic tool changer from EagleTec CNC.
