What Is A 4 Axis CNC Router?

A 4-axis CNC router is a type of basic CNC machine with an X axis, Y axis, and Z axis,With rotary Axis.

It will go along three different axes at the same time. The X-axis will move from left to right, the Y-axis will move from front to back, and the Z-axis will move up and down. 3-axis CNC machines are used primarily for machining flat, 2D, and 2.5D parts. Rotary working 3D.

A 3-axis CNC router is also known as a 3-axis CNC machine, 3-axis CNC cutter, and 3-axis CNC carving machine. The functional software behind any CNC machine is its CAD/CAM software. CAD software allows users to create the designs they wish to engrave. After completing this design, the CAM software converts the design into toolpath code that the machine can understand. The computer then converts this code into a signal that controls the movement of the machine's drive system. The drive system includes a spindle, which is the part that saves the actual machine position. The spindle rotates 8,000 to 50,000 times per minute to cut the material. In short, users create designs and use software to make instructions for the machine.

How Much Does A 4x5 CNC Router Cost?

Several factors are responsible for the wide price range of 4x5 CNC routers. Depending on brands, models, quality, and features prices can reach to maximum. Additional accessories with the kit add more to the expenses.

The average cost to own and operate an entry-level 4x5 CNC router with 3 axeshas soared about 10% since last year to $3,680 due to the rising shipping costs. The prices of professional 4th axis types with 4x6 vacuum table for rotary carving & cutting start from $4000. The high-end 4-axis or 5-axis types for 3D machining are priced anywhere from $10,800 to $78,000.

Considering the usability and performance of the machine an entry-level 4x6 CNC router and table kit might start from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on models and brands.

Mid-range 4x6 CNC routers with better build quality, more advanced motion control systems, and additional features can range from $10,000 to USD 20,000.

High-end or industrial-grade 4x6 CNC routers can cost upwards of USD 20,000 or even more.

Advantages

Tips to Maximize 4x5 CNC Router Machine & Table Kit Efficiency

To achieve higher productivity and better efficiency a few tips may work out for most. Our exclusive expert suggestions are given to make sure you get the most out of your tool.

✔ Make sure the material is flat, clean, and securely fastened to prevent errors.

✔ Ensure optimized tool paths using CAM software. This will reduce machining time, and maximize the cutter lifespan.

✔ Do similar projects in batch which will reduce setup time for different projects.

✔ Keep track of the tools using a tool management system.

✔ Experiment with different parameters to gain the best fit for any manufacturing task.

✔ If the router is equipped with a vacuum table setup it with proper sealing and zoning.

✔ Comprehensive training for the operators is as important as others to achieve greater output from your machine.

✔ Last but not least, regular maintenance will ensure better performance of your machine like others.

Trouble shooting

Error 1: After opening the software, the computer prompts "Cannot open the card, query card prompt".

1. Check whether the driver of the board is installed properly, or change the board to a PCI slot.

2. Reinstall the two data cables and check if there is any broken needle.

3. Replace the board.

Error 2: Open the software prompt: Three-axis alarm, initialization error signal.

1. Check whether the two data cables of the computer and the machine are connected properly.

2. Check whether the fuse of the adapter board in the control box is burned out, and replace the fuse.

3. Check whether the power supply is normal.

Mistake 3: The routing is misplaced or the size is wrong.

1. Check whether the path of the routing software is correct or not.

2. Check the gap size of the screw rod and whether the fastening screw of the polished rod is loose.

3. Check whether the software parameters are set correctly.

Error 4: The spindle motor does not rotate or reverse.

1. Check the inverter parameter settings.

2. Check whether the signal wire of the inverter is connected reversely.

Error 5: The phenomenon of smashing the bit occurred.

1. The power of the Z-axis motor is not enough, and the coupling is loose.

Care and Maintenance  

⇲ The continuous operation time is less than 10 hours per day to ensure the cleanliness of the cooling water and the normal operation of the water pump. Never cause water shortage in the water spindle motor. Replace the cooling water regularly to prevent excessive water temperature. If the working environment temperature is too low in winter, the water in the water tank can be replaced with antifreeze.

⇲ Every time the machine is used, pay attention to cleaning. Be sure to clean up the dust on the platform and transmission system, and lubricate the transmission system (X, Y, Z axis) regularly (weekly). (Note: The X, Y, and Z three-axis polished rods are maintained with engine oil; the screw part is added with high-speed butter; if the working environment temperature is too low in winter, the screw and polished rods (square rail or round rail) should be washed and cleaned with gasoline first, And then add oil, otherwise it will cause excessive resistance in the transmission part of the machine and cause the machine to misalign.)

⇲ For maintenance and inspection of electrical appliances, the power supply must be cut off, and only after the monitor has no display and the main circuit power indicator light goes out.

When the CNC machine does not work normally, it may be due to a problem with its internal components or other reasons. The following is a general introduction to the frequently occurring problems.

⇲ One of the three axes cannot be moved. At this time, check whether the drive block corresponding to the corresponding axis is damaged. The inspection method can use the replacement method: unplug the aviation plug corresponding to the fixed shaft and plug it into the drive corresponding to the other active shaft.

⇲ If the immovable shaft moves normally after the exchange, it can indicate that the drive block corresponding to the shaft has been damaged and the drive block needs to be replaced. If the shaft does not move, it means that the cable or motor is faulty. Replace the cable or motor. None of the three axes can move. At this time, check whether the three-axis aviation plug has been connected to the control box and whether the power of the control box has been turned on. Whether the data line is well connected with the control box and the control card in the host computer. If the above is normal, please contact the factory.

⇲ The spindle cannot run normally, first, check the error code displayed on the LED display of the inverter.
