vertical machining center VMC640 4 axis cnc milling machine module process

Specifications:

The comparison between three-axis and four-axis machining centers lies primarily in their processing capabilities and handling of complexity:

1. Number of Axes and Motion Range:

   • Three-axis Machining Center: Movement occurs along the X, Y, and Z linear axes, capable of milling, drilling, and other operations on flat surfaces and simple 3D shapes.
   • Four-axis Machining Center: Adds a rotational axis (A-axis or B-axis) to the standard axes, allowing the workpiece to rotate during processing, enhancing versatility and complexity of operations.

2. Handling of Complexity:

   • Three-axis: For parts with angles or requiring multiple surfaces, repositioning and remounting may be necessary.
   • Four-axis: Can machine multiple sides of a part in a single setup, eliminating the need for frequent repositioning, ideal for components with complex angles, curves, and multiple faces.

3. Efficiency and Precision:

   • Three-axis: Efficiency might be lower due to multiple operations for multi-sided machining, potentially introducing more positioning errors.
   • Four-axis: Increases efficiency, reduces alignment errors, ensuring precision, especially for intricate part production.

4. Application Industries:

   • Three-axis: Suited for basic mechanical work, like automotive parts and mold manufacturing.
   • Four-axis: More appropriate for aerospace, medical devices, and precision component manufacturing requiring high precision and complex geometries.

5. Cost:

   • Three-axis: Equipment costs are usually lower.
   • Four-axis: Additional axis and more complex control systems result in higher equipment costs.

In summary, four-axis machining centers provide advanced processing capabilities for complex parts but may entail a higher investment. Three-axis machining centers are more suitable for basic tasks and simpler part geometries without the need for additional rotation.
