What Is 4-Axis CNC Machining?

4-Осина с ЧПУ is an advanced manufacturing технология that builds on 3-axis machining (Х, У, Z linear axes) by adding a rotary axis (A or B Axis)—a rotating table that spins the workpiece around one of the linear axes. This extra axis lets the machine access multiple sides of a part in a single setup, eliminating the need for manual repositioning and unlocking more complex geometries than 3-axis systems.​

А Обзор процесса просто: A CNC (Компьютерное числовое управление) system interprets CAD designs to synchronize the linear axes (X/y/z, controlling the cutting tool) и rotary axis (controlling the workpiece’s rotation). The two common rotary axis configurations are:​

• A-Axis: Rotates the workpiece around the X-axis (ideal for long, cylindrical parts like shafts).​

• B-Axis: Rotates the workpiece around the Y-axis (better for shorter, irregularly shaped parts like brackets with multi-sided features).​

To explain “Как это работает” simply: Imagine a 3-axis machine that can spin your part like a rotisserie while cutting it. Например, when making a gear, the 4-axis machine cuts the gear teeth on the outer circumference as the rotary axis turns the part—all in one run, no need to stop and reposition. This is the core value of 4-Осина с ЧПУ: combining linear precision with rotational flexibility to streamline production of multi-sided parts.

Our 4-Axis CNC Machining Capabilities

We offer robust machining capabilities tailored to 4-axis systems, с акцентом на rotary table capabilities and precision for complex parts. Below is a detailed breakdown of our key capacities, включая maximum part size, толщина материала, точные уровни, Пользовательская обработка, и tolerance achievements:​

​

​

Whether you need to machine a single titanium shaft or 10,000 brass gears, our 4-axis capabilities scale to match your project’s complexity and volume.

The 4-Axis CNC Machining Process

Наш Пошаговый процесс is optimized to leverage the rotary axis for efficiency and precision, from design to finished part:​

1. Design and CAD Modeling: We start by reviewing your CAD model (or creating one from sketches). Our engineers focus on optimizing the design for 4-axis machining—e.g., ensuring features on cylindrical surfaces are aligned to the rotary axis to avoid unnecessary setups. Для прототипов, we offer free design feedback to improve manufacturability.​

2. CAM программирование: The CAD model is imported into CAM software (Мастеркам, SolidWorks CAM), where we program пути инструментов for both linear and rotary axes. We synchronize the rotary axis rotation with linear tool movements—for example, programming the A-axis to spin 90° while the Z-axis lowers the cutting tool to add a slot on a shaft’s side.​

3. Setup and Calibration: The workpiece is clamped to the rotary table (custom fixtures are used for irregular shapes). We calibrate the rotary axis using laser measuring tools to ensure alignment with linear axes (critical for precision). Режущие инструменты (НАПРИМЕР., Конец мельницы, тренировки) are loaded, и coolant systems are activated to prevent overheating.​

4. Обработка выполнения: The CNC system runs the program, synchronizing linear (X/y/z) and rotary (A/B) movements. Например, when machining a gear, the rotary axis spins the part at a steady speed while the X/Y axes move the cutting tool to cut teeth. We monitor the process in real time to adjust speeds or coolant flow if needed.​

5. Post-Machining Inspection: После обработки, parts undergo rigorous checks. Мы используем CMMS (Координировать измерительные машины) to verify linear dimensions and angular measurements (for rotary axis features). Parts with rough edges move to выслушивание или шлифование for finishing.​

Rotary Axis Integration Review: Для сложных частей, we review the rotary axis performance (НАПРИМЕР., rotation smoothness, positioning accuracy) to refine future programs—ensuring consistent quality for repeat orders.

Key Advantages of 4-Axis CNC Machining

Compared to 3-axis machining (which requires multiple setups for multi-sided parts) and 5-axis machining (which is more costly for simple complexity), 4-Осина с ЧПУ offers balanced benefits:​

1. Высокая точность: With linear tolerances as tight as ±0.01mm and rotary axis precision of ±0.005°, it produces parts that fit seamlessly—critical for gears, валы, and medical implants.​

2. Сложная геометрия: The rotary axis enables machining of features on cylindrical or multi-sided parts (НАПРИМЕР., slots on a shaft, holes on a gear hub) that would require 2–3 setups with 3-axis systems.​

3. Снижение времени настройки: One setup handles all sides of a part—cutting setup time by 50–70% compared to 3-axis machining. Для приказов больших объемов (НАПРИМЕР., 10,000 Автомобильные детали), this translates to faster production.​

4. Increased Efficiency: Fewer setups mean less operator time and fewer errors (НАПРИМЕР., misalignment from repositioning). Our clients report 30–40% faster production times for multi-sided parts.​

5. Универсальность: It works with all common metals and non-metals, and handles both simple (скобки) и комплекс (передачи) parts—making it a one-stop solution for diverse projects.​

6. Экономическая эффективность: More affordable than 5-axis machining (lower equipment and operational costs) while offering more capability than 3-axis. Reduced setup time and errors also lower labor and material waste costs.​

7. Consistency and Repeatability: CNC programming ensures every part is identical—critical for replacement parts (НАПРИМЕР., aerospace shafts) or mass-produced components (НАПРИМЕР., brass connectors).​

Rotary Axis Benefits: The continuous rotation of the A/B axis enables high-speed machining of cylindrical parts (НАПРИМЕР., передачи) and precise indexing for multi-sided features (НАПРИМЕР., a bracket with holes on 4 боки).

Промышленные приложения

4-Осина с ЧПУ is widely used across industries that need multi-sided or cylindrical parts. Вот его наиболее распространенные приложения:​

​

​

Например, в автомобильной промышленности, our 4-axis machining produces 10,000 gear hubs monthly with consistent tooth spacing—thanks to the rotary axis’ precise indexing. In medical devices, we machine titanium implant stems with side slots (for bone screws) in one setup, ensuring patient-specific precision.

Усовершенствованные методы производства

To maximize the potential of 4-axis systems, Мы используем передовые методы обработки and optimized processes:​

• Фрезерование: For multi-sided parts (НАПРИМЕР., скобки), we use “indexed milling”—programming the rotary axis to stop at specific angles (НАПРИМЕР., 90°, 180°) to cut features on each side. Для цилиндрических частей (НАПРИМЕР., валы), we use “continuous milling” (rotary axis spins non-stop) to cut grooves or threads.​

Поворот: Combined with 4-axis capabilities, turning creates complex cylindrical parts (НАПРИМЕР., передаточные валы) with both turned and milled features (НАПРИМЕР., a shaft with a turned outer diameter and milled keyway). А rotary axis spins the part during turning, while linear axes move the turning tool to shape the circumference.​

• Drilling/Boring: For holes on cylindrical surfaces (НАПРИМЕР., a gear hub with radial holes), we use “angular drilling”—programming the rotary axis to position the part at the exact angle (НАПРИМЕР., 45°, 90°) before the Z-axis lowers the drill. This ensures holes are aligned perfectly with the part’s centerline.​

• Оптимизация пути инструмента: CAM software helps us create efficient paths—for example, “trochoidal milling” (for hard metals like titanium) reduces tool wear by keeping the cutting tool in constant contact with the material, while “zig-zag paths” (для алюминия) speed up cutting of large surfaces.​

• Режущие инструменты: We select tools based on material and feature type:​

• Карбид -конце мельницы: For milling steel, титан, и композиты (долговечный, теплостойкий).​

• Высокоскоростная сталь (HSS) тренировки: For brass, медь, и пластмассы (острый, рентабельный).​

• Indexable turning inserts: For high-volume turning (replaceable cutting edges reduce downtime).​

• Системы охлаждающей жидкости: We use two types of coolant for 4-axis machining:​

• Flood coolant: Для масштабного производства (covers the part and tool to reduce heat buildup).​

• Mist coolant: For precision work (НАПРИМЕР., Медицинские имплантаты) to avoid coolant residue on small features.​

• Rotary Axis Operations: We offer two key rotary modes:​

• Indexing: The rotary axis stops at fixed angles (НАПРИМЕР., 0°, 90°, 180°) to machine features on each side—ideal for multi-sided brackets.​

Continuous Rotation: The rotary axis spins non-stop (до 200 Rpm) during cutting—perfect for cylindrical parts like gears or shafts.

Тематические исследования: Истории успеха

Наш 4-Услуги обработки Axis CNC have helped clients across aerospace, Автомобиль, and medical industries solve complex production challenges. Ниже два успешные проекты showcasing our expertise in leveraging the rotary axis for efficiency and precision:​

Тематическое исследование 1: Automotive Gear Hub Manufacturer​

• Испытание: Клиент нужен 10,000 brass gear hubs monthly for electric vehicle transmissions. Each hub required a turned outer diameter, 6 radial holes (evenly spaced at 60°), and a milled keyway—all with a tolerance of ±0.01mm. Their previous supplier used 3-axis machining, which required 3 setups (поворот, бурение, фрезерование) и вызвано 8% of parts to fail due to misalignment (holes not centered on the hub). Lead time was 3 недели, which delayed their EV production.​

• Решение: Мы использовали 4-Осина с ЧПУ with A-axis (rotary around X-axis) to complete the hub in one setup. Первый, we turned the outer diameter using continuous rotary rotation; затем, we indexed the A-axis to 60° increments to drill the radial holes (ensuring perfect spacing); окончательно, we milled the keyway by synchronizing A-axis rotation with X/Y linear movement. We used carbide turning inserts and flood coolant to handle high-volume production, и оптимизирован пути инструментов to cut each hub in 2 минуты (вниз от 5 minutes with 3-axis).​

• Результаты:​

• Misalignment rate dropped from 8% to 0.5%—only 50 parts failed per month (против. 800 previously).​

• Lead time shortened from 3 недели до 10 days—helping the client meet their EV assembly schedule.​

• Production cost per hub decreased by 30% (reduced labor from fewer setups and faster cutting time).​

• Клиентский отзыв: “The 4-axis machining transformed our gear hub production. One setup eliminated misalignment, and the faster speed let us keep up with EV demand. We’ve expanded our order to 15,000 hubs monthly!” — Lisa M., Automotive Production Manager.​

• Before and After: 3-axis hubs had uneven hole spacing and off-center keyways; 4-axis hubs featured perfectly aligned holes and keyways that fit seamlessly into transmissions.​

Тематическое исследование 2: Medical Device Company (Titanium Implant Stems)​

• Испытание: Клиент нужен 500 patient-specific titanium orthopedic implant stems—each with a curved outer surface, 4 side slots (for bone screws), and a polished articulating end. Tolerances were tight (±0.008mm linear, ±0.005° rotary) to ensure a perfect fit in patients’ bones. The client also required FDA-compliant documentation and a lead time of 2 недели (to meet urgent surgery schedules).​

• Решение: Мы использовали 4-Осина с ЧПУ with B-axis (rotary around Y-axis) to machine each stem from a titanium blank. Первый, we imported the patient’s CT-scan-derived CAD model into CAM software, programming the B-axis to rotate the stem at 15° increments to access the curved surface and side slots. We used carbide end mills for milling (to handle titanium’s hardness) and mist coolant (to avoid residue on small slots). После обработки, we polished the articulating end to a Ra 0.8μm surface roughness (per medical standards) и проводился 100% CMM Inspection (verifying linear and rotary tolerances). We also prepared detailed documentation (параметры обработки, Инспекционные отчеты) Для соответствия FDA.

• Результаты:​

• 100% of implant stems met the tight tolerances and FDA requirements—no rejections.​

• Surgeons reported a 50% reduction in implant insertion time (due to precise patient-specific fit).​

• Lead time was met (2 недели)—ensuring patients received timely surgeries.​

• Challenge Overcome: 3-axis machining would have required 4 setups for the curved surface and slots, leading to misalignment and missed deadlines. 4-axis machining’s one-setup process solved both issues.​

Клиентский отзыв: “The 4-axis implants fit better than any we’ve used before. The precision and fast delivery have made them a staple in our orthopedic surgeries.” — Dr. James R., Orthopedic Surgeon.
