Currently, there are many ways and equipment used in machining center, among them, CNC four-axis machining center is a common machining method. Initially, triaxial machining is generally used, but both in terms of performance, function and adaptability, four-axis machining is better. Today we will understand its performance and processing characteristics.

Although CNC four-axis machining is very common in the industry now, there is not much theoretical data in the development process.Therefore, we often encounter various problems in practical application, such as the problem of cutting tools, which will also affect the efficiency of the overall equipment.

Four axis machining center is mainly divided into two types: horizontal and vertical, the two types have their own characteristics.In general, if the application is horizontal, then you can add a B-axis on the Y-axis, the programming method is similar to the 3-axis machine, you can rotate 4 sides to achieve the highest accuracy requirements.Compared with the 3-axis machine, the 4-axis machine are generally used for the needs that the 3-axis machine tool cannot process.For example,parts that cannot be processed due to the extreme depth and angle,common fan blade, worm and other products.

In fact, the four-axis machining center evolved from CNC milling machines, the difference is whether they have the ability to automatically switch machining tools. The former can be very good to complete automatic exchange, ability to automatic tool change in one clamping, complete a variety of processing functions.In addition, the four-axis machining center can also complete the linkage control of three or more axes, which can better process the parts with complex surface.

To sum up, the four-axis machining is a highly efficient and high-precision CNC machine, which only needs one clamping to complete the processing of multiple working procedures, as well as perfect tool function and automatic tool change function.
