Choosing the Right CNC Router: 3‑Axis vs 4‑Axis Machines

There are great differences between 3 axis CNC router and 4 axis CNC router in processing mode and application scope. In order to better use the CNC wood router, we will show you the specific differences between the two CNC router machines.

CNC router machine is a CNC machine that controls the manufacture of tool or machine functions through computer programming. It can be instructed to cut, grind, shape, carve and mold a particular material by using the developed G-code language. At present, you can have access to encountering different kinds of wood CNC machines which with various in functions and axis. 3 axis CNC router, 4 axis CNC router and 5 axis CNC router can be easily found on the market. Sometimes, you may be wonder that what is the main difference between these CNC machines and these axes. Now, please read the following passage, then you will get your answer.

Let us firstly talk about 3 axis CNC router. It is one of the basic wood CNC machine that were used in the industrial process. The machine can process different kinds of materials with moving along X, Y and Z axis. This kind of 3 axis CNC machine is designed with steel frame structure, and the working size can be customized according to your requirement. Besides, the machine is equipped with high frequency of spindles. What’s more, it can be used for various areas and industries. Such as, woodworking, advertising, model, plastic and some others industries.

4 axis CNC router was designed with swinging or ATC spindle for reducing cycle time. The most outstanding advantage of this machine is that the spindle can rotate 180 degrees. In that case, this kind of wood CNC machine is very suitable for siding milling, drilling, lock slot. Please notice that the machine can process various kinds of curved surface. You can also choose a rotary device for irregular cylinder carving, such as sculptures, furniture legs, stair handrails and some others. The welded structure uses thick steel profiles and is assembled with precision components.

4 axis CNC router

3 axis CNC router and 4 axis CNC routers are both controlled by computer. They have high precision, which significantly improves product quality. We can offer different kinds of CNC router machines which were designed with the latest technology. Please trust that we can turn the complex and tough designs into practice.
