What Are 4-Axis and 5-Axis Rotary Tables?
Rotary tables for 4-axis and 5-axis applications serve as core functional components of multi-axis CNC machines. Without these critical parts, 4-axis and 5-axis machining centers cannot fulfill their designated functions. To put it simply: equipping a 3-axis machine with one rotary axis creates a 4-axis unit, while adding two rotary axes upgrades it to a 5-axis machine. 3-Axis CNC Machining A 3-axis CNC system refers to three linear moving axes corresponding to vertical, longitudinal and transverse movements following the Cartesian coordinate system. Parts can only be machined on a single surface per setup, making 3-axis equipment ideal for flat-component…
