4 Axis 3 Axis CNC Router Machine for Woodworking 2d 3D Engraving

Woodworking cnc router

A woodworking CNC router is a computer numerical control (CNC) machine specifically designed for woodworking applications. It is a versatile and precision tool that automates the cutting, carving, engraving, and shaping of wood and wood-based materials.

A CNC wood router machine is an automatic table kit for wood cutting, relief carving, drilling & slotting, which works with 2D/3D designed files by CAD/CAM software. A CNC wood router machine is composed of bed frames, spindles, T-slot table or vacuum table, vacuum pump, CNC controller, motor driver, guide rail, rack and pinion, ball screw, power supply, limit switch, collets, tools & bits, and other parts & accessories. The most common types of wood routers include 3 axis, 4th axis, 4 axis, 5 axis CNC woodworking machines. The most commonly used CNC wood router tables include 2ft by 3ft, 2ft by 4ft, 4ft by 4ft, 4ft by 6ft, 4ft by 8ft, 5ft by 10ft, and 6ft by 12ft. A wood router is applied in most popular woodworking plans and projects such as cabinet making, door making, sign making, arts & crafts, furniture making, and home decorations.

3 Axis Woodworking CNC Router Carving Machine

The CNC wood router on this page mainly refers to the 3 axis CNC router machine for CNC woodworking. The spindle of the CNC wood router carries the CNC router bits to move along the X, Y, and Z axes. As one type of the most commonly used wood CNC machine, it can cut, carve, engrave, mill, punch various types of wood boards. So it is also called CNC wood carving machine, CNC wood cutting machine, or CNC wood engraving machine.

The 3 axis CNC router has outstanding features, such as low cost, simple operation, multiple functions, and easy maintenance. So it is considered as an entry-level wood CNC machine in the CNC woodworking industry. And it is quite popular with users at home and abroad. The CNC wood cutting machine mainly performs some plane processing on wooden panels. If you are just doing flat machining on some plates, this 3 axis CNC router is definitely your ideal choice. For example, engrave patterns on or cut shapes out from a wood board.

Simply put, the 3 axis CNC wood carving machine works like a printer in terms of working principle.

The CNC router software (CAD) designs the engraving patterns and cutting paths to turn your ideas into electronic files. And the design and working path information is automatically transferred to the controller by the computer. Then the other type of CNC router software (CAM) turns the electronic files into G-codes. Such G-codes can drive the servo or stepper motor to work and control the CNC wood engraving machine spindle to move along the X, Y, and Z axes. So it can complete cutting, engraving, or carving work of multiple materials fixed on the working table.

Of course, sometimes, you have other machining requirements such as carving three-dimensional workpieces, curved surface machining of complex workpieces. To meet these demands, we also have CNC routers for woodworking with the rotating spindle, rotary device, automatic tool charge, or multiple spindles. You can choose one CNC wood cutting machine among them that can best suit your requirements.

3 Axis Woodworking CNC Router Machine with ATC

ATC CNC router is the first choice for enterprises with large production volume. Compared with the traditional manual tool change production method, this type of wood CNC machine has an independent tool magazine with different tool bits. It can automatically change the required tools by computer program control without stopping work during processing. And this CNC wood router can complete a series of cutting, hollowing, grooving, punching, milling grooves, milling planes and other different processing needs. Therefore, both the processing quality and processing efficiency have been greatly improved.

According to the different tool changing methods, the ATC CNC engraving machine can be subdivided into linear ATC CNC and disc ATC CNC machines. Then we are talking about the linear ATC CNC Machine. This type machine uses a straight-line tool change device, and the tool change device can be installed in different positions according to the specific needs of the user.

Firstly, the in-line tool magazine can be placed behind the bed. This conventional in-line tool changer engraving machine is cost-effective and can meet a variety of processing requirements for complex work pieces without high procurement costs. Secondly, the in-line tool magazine can also be placed under the gantry. This type of linear engraving machine does not need to go to the back of the bed to change tools, so the tool change speed is faster and the wear on the guide rail can be reduced, and the service life of the machine is relatively longer. It is worth mentioning that the number of tools in the in-line tool magazine can be customized according to the specific processing needs of the user.

4 Axes Woodworking CNC Router

4 axis CNC router is quite good at processing 3D workpieces. It generally falls into two types. The first type described hereunder is equipped with a rotating spindle that can swing by 180°. It can engrave 3D patterns and drill holes on side surfaces of wood, MDF, acrylic, foam, rubber, and other materials. For example, 3D letters, signs, reliefs, and sculptures.

In a broad sense, a 4 Axis CNC Router machine refers to a CNC machine whose processing path include X, Y, Z, and A axis. And we are going to talk about a 4 axis machine whose spindle can swing left and right. Because the spindle of this type of CNC can swing left and right, the spindle can approach the work piece from multiple different angles and efficiently process three effective processing surfaces. This CNC machine can realize not only the plane engraving, but also the 3d carving of irregular work pieces.

And this type of wood CNC machine is suitable for common work piece, three-dimensional work piece, complex work piece and irregular graphics processing. In addition, this type of CNC engraving machine makes full use of the geometric configuration of the tool, controls the angle of the force, reduces the vibration of the force, prolongs the life of the tool, enhances the stability of the processing, and improves the processing accuracy. With the advantages of complete functions, wide processing range and high processing accuracy, more and more users choose the 4 axis machines for 3D Wood Carving. If you have similar three-dimensional work pieces, this CNC Wood Router will be your ideal choice.
