Are you in relief and 3D engraving, cylindrical object engraving industry, foam industry, moulding industry, wooden furniture industry? If so, you must be very familiar with wood CNC router. There are many types of woodworking cnc router, among which 4-axis CNC router is widely used as the main equipment for 3D wood carving. Do you know about 4 axis cnc router machines?

 

 

The 4 axis cnc router with swing head looks very similar to the 3 axis cnc machine, but all the knowledge is on the spindle. Our 4 axis cnc router uses high power air-cooled main shaft, which can rotate 180 degrees (±90 degrees ), can process plane, relief, cylinder, non-standard 3D model, 3D model angle, which solves the problem that ordinary 3 axis cnc machine cannot complete. For example, if you want to punch holes on the side, or you want to make side bevel cuts, a 4 axis cnc machine will be your best choice. It works on the same object as the ordinary wood cnc router, it can carve wood, foam, stone, marble, people body, buddha statues, sculptures, handicrafts, furniture, etc.

Of course, we have another kind of 4 axis cnc machine, which adds a rotary axis to the ordinary 3 axis cnc router. This 4 axis cnc router machine is also called false 4 axis, but it can also be used for the processing of 3D works, cylinders and other materials. The price will be cheaper, but the work will have some limitations, such as the inability to process some irregular 3D works. So if the economy allows, a real 4 axis cnc machine will be your best choice.

 

 

The fourth axis on the rotary axis CNC router is also called the CNC indexing head, is a machine tool attachment that clamps the workpiece on a chuck or between two centers to rotate, index, and position it. The advantage of adding the fourth axis to the machine tool is that it can make the machining plane of the tool wider, which can reduce the re-clamping of the workpiece, improve the overall machining accuracy of the workpiece, and help simplify the process flow and improve production efficiency. In particular, the 4th axis can perform tasks that 3 axis CNC router cannot perform simultaneously. The multi-faceted processing of the product can be realized by rotation, which greatly improves the processing efficiency, reduces the number of clamping and shortens the production time.

1. The corner can process multiple curved surfaces at the same time, which improves the overall machining accuracy of the workpiece, which is conducive to simplifying the process and improving production efficiency.

2. The three axes are three linear motion coordinates X, Y, Z, and the fourth axis is generally a rotation axis, which can cause angular displacement between the tool and the workpiece, that is, the tool axis and the surface normal. The workpiece forms an angle. The rotary axis CNC router not only expands the processing range of materials, but also improves the processing conditions.

 

1. Calculates the path for rotary engraving without surface expansion.

2. Calculates the toolpath for machining the workpiece in one pass without repeated rotation of the workpiece.

3. Reduces finishing tolerances and allows stacked toolpath machining.

4. Realises partially rotary machining and allows the definition of angular and length ranges

5. Multi-face machining with rotary positioning is often used for irregularly rotating parts where different machining directions are always involved due to the precision of the equipment.

6. Seamless rotary screws are machined using integral axis rotation, with the CNC machine automatically forming a closed rotary engraving path.

 

AccTek's 4 axis cnc router machines are specifically designed for large 3D engraving jobs. The cnc router spindle can be rotated 180 degrees, ±90 degrees, with a response speed, machining accuracy and working efficiency far superior to conventional 3 axis cnc router.
