Do you know the difference between 4-axis cnc machining center and conventional cnc machining? Next, the editor of Xiehe CNC processing factory will give you a brief introduction.

Ordinary CNC machining only needs three axes of XYZ, and a machining center that adds one more rotating axis to the XYZ three-axis is called a four-axis CNC machining center, and a machining center that adds two rotating axes is called a five-axis CNC machining center.

Four-axis machine CNC machining has three different additional rotation axes, namely A, B, and C. The A axis is the axis that rotates around the X axis. By analogy, the B axis corresponds to the Y axis, and the C axis corresponds to the Z axis. The three rotation axes of ABC are also called dividing heads. CNC machining of four-axis machines means that a dividing head is added to the three-axis machining center. The specific coordinate axis to add depends on the customer's needs.

Similar to the CNC machining of the four-axis machine, the five-axis machining center just selects two of the three rotation axes of ABC, which can be AB, AC, and BC. It is precisely because the five-axis machining center has one more rotation axis than the four-axis machining center, so the workpieces that can be processed by the five-axis CNC machining center may not be processed by the four-axis machining center, but the workpieces that can be processed by the four-axis CNC machining center are processed by five-axis machining The center is capable of processing.

The four-axis machine CNC machining can process some complex curved surfaces through the linkage of one rotating axis and the three linear axes of XYZ, while the five-axis machining center has one more dividing head than the four-axis machining center, so it can pass two rotating axes and XYZ The three linear axes are linked together for more complex processing complex spatial surfaces.

The above content is the difference between the 4-axis cnc machining center and the conventional cnc machining, hoping to increase everyone's understanding of cnc machining. If you want to know more about cnc processing, please call Xiehe cnc processing factory, we will serve you wholeheartedly.
