3 Axis CNC Router VS 4 Axis CNC Router: Which One Would You Prefer? Computer numerical control shortly known as CNC is a way to command the functions of a manufacturing tool or machine through computer programming. CNC machines cut, grind, shape, carve and mold a particular material into a desired finished product by using the g-code language developed to instruct the machine according to operator’s desire. Today in the market, you can come across different types of CNC machines, diverse in functions and axis. You can easily find 3 Axis CNC routers, 4 Axis CNC routers, 5 Axis CNC routers in the marketplace. You must be wondering what these axes are and how each machine is different from other. Read on to understand the ‘AXIS’ of CNC Machines. 3 Axis CNC Router 3 axis machining is one of the most commonly used techniques in the industrial process. Hence, using 3 axis machines allows the router to work on material on 3 axes that are X, Y, and Z. 1. OMNI 3 axis CNC router is a solid steel frame structure with a high frequency of 4hp/6hp spindle. It has a high-speed 3-axis Motion Controller with a DSP remote Control user-friendly operator interface. 2. This CNC router can be used for various industries like Building Industry ( Architectural Decoration Elements, Kitchen Cabinet & Door, Facades &Curtain wall, Column & Balustrade ), Sign& Advertising ( Signage Indoor & Outdoor, Engraving& Bas-Relief, 3D Letters, Funeral), Models & Prototyping ,Plastics & Composites ( ACP, ACM and solid surface material etc. ) and non-ferrous metals & Marine. 3. The router is available in different size like 4X8 CNC Router, 5X10 CNC router, 6X10 CNC router.
Notice the designs in the images above, i.e., the image of Gautam Buddha, and the wooden carving. Both the designs depict the work of 3-Axis CNC router 4 Axis CNC Router Based on the axes XYZ+1, a 4 axis machine makes industrial operations quick by reducing cycle times.
