Ultimate 4 Axis CNC Router Buyer’s Guide (2022)

A 4 Axis CNC Router refers to a CNC machine whose processing path includes X, Y, Z, and A axis.

4-axis milling involves the same processes involved in 3-axis machining, where a cutting tool is used to remove material from a piece to create the desired shape and profile. However, in the case of 4-axes machining, milling is performed on an additional axis. A 4-axis CNC Router kit operates on the X, Y, and Z axes like a 3-axis machine, but it also includes rotation around the X-axis, which is called the A-axis. This is the 4th axis that’s added to our working process.

You can find the related CNC Router Products via our Rotary Axis CNC Router. In most cases, the workpiece will be rotated to allow for cutting to occur around the B-axis.4-axis milling is useful when holes and cutouts need to be made in the side of a piece or around a cylinder. They can provide quick and efficient work based on computer numerical inputs for precise results.

Note: In addition to the machine itself, you’ll need to purchase a computer-aided design (CAD) software package to create the designs. Some dealers offer packages that bundle the cost of the machine, training, shipping, and installation. Therefore, before deciding to purchase, be sure to ask if you need to spend extra money.

•  Musical Instrument industry: musical instrument 3D surface, shape cutting.
• 3D processing: chairs: fiberglass trimming, resin, and other non-metal carbon-mixed workpieces processing.
•  Advertising industry: Acrylic board, PVC foam board, PS organic board, KT board, PP board, and various materials for advertising decoration products.
• Other industries: Can sculpt various shadow carvings and reliefs, which are widely used in the craft gift industry.

Special design and typesetting software are installed in the general microcomputer to design and typeset graphics and text, automatically generate processing path information, and transmit tool path data to the single-chip through the USB interface or other data transmission interfaces.

The CNC system receives the tool path data and completes the display After a series of functions such as interaction with the user, a specific algorithm is used to convert the input path information into numerical control information. The controller converts this information into a signal (pulse train) that drives the stepper motor or servo motor to control the engraving machine X, Y, Z Three-axis pass. Simultaneous milling can engrave various planes or three-dimensional graphic characters designed on the computer to realize engraving automation.
