What is 3 Axis and 4 Axis CNC router ?
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">1. 3 axis CNC router</span></span></p> <p style="margin:0pt 0pt 0.0001pt; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">3 axis CNC router performs intelligent cutting, milling, engraving, drilling, and grooving functions in different materials by moving a tool bit on the three-axis (X, Y, Z axis). As a basic machine, it can be an upgrade to other machines like multi-process CNC router, multi-head CNC router etc.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">2. 4 axis CNC router</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">4 axis CNC router generally can be divided into a 4th axis CNC router and rotary axis CNC router.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">1). Comparing the 4 Axis CNC router to the 3 axis CNC router, the 4th axis engraving machine is special in its spindle which can swing 180 degrees in both positions&ndash;left and right. The 4 axis CNC router can realize plane processing and also make work possible on both sides. It does some surface processing of 3D workpieces.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">2). Another kind 4 axis CNC router called rotary axis CNC router. &nbsp;</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">This type of CNC machine includes adding a rotary device to the 3 axis CNC router. The rotary device majorly realizes the machining of cylindrical workpieces. The rotary device can be placed in any position you want to either in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction of the machine.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">The rotary device can not only be placed on the machine but also function independently of the machine. It is easier to operate and maintain. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#000000;">4 axis CNC router can realize processing cylindrical workpieces and the plane materials engraving.</span></span></p> <p><a href="https://www.honzhanmachines.com/index/index/productlist.html?cat_id=12" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://www.honzhanmachines.com/static/upload/20201025/4 Spindles Rotary Axis.jpg" title="image" /></a>&nbsp;4 axis cnc router with four spindles</p> <p><a href="https://www.honzhanmachines.com/index/index/productlist.html?cat_id=9" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://www.honzhanmachines.com/static/upload/d456aa8f88d80d64/49af0e494c83a709.jpg" title="image" /></a>&nbsp;rotary device</p>
