Advanced CNC Control

Computer-controlled rotary positioning and coordinated toolpaths provide precise angular positioning, repeatable machining, and efficient production of complex component geometries.

What Is 4-Axis CNC Machining?

4-axis CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that adds a rotary axis to the three linear X, Y, and Z axes used in conventional CNC milling. The additional rotary axis allows the workpiece or cutting tool to rotate during machining, providing access to multiple sides and features of a component without manually repositioning the part.

This additional axis makes 4-axis CNC machining particularly effective for components with features positioned around a central axis, angled surfaces, multiple side features, and complex profiles that would require several setups on a 3-axis machine.

4-Axis CNC Machining Capabilities

TFG’s 4-axis CNC machining services provide increased flexibility for production components with multiple machining surfaces and complex geometries.

Multi-Sided Machining: Machine features on multiple sides of a component with fewer manual setups.
Rotary-Axis Machining: Continuously or indexed rotary positioning provides access to features around the circumference of a part.
Complex Contouring: Coordinated axis movement enables machining of curved, angled, and contoured surfaces.
Drilling & Tapping: Accurately machine holes and threaded features at multiple orientations.
Pocketing & Profiling: Produce recessed features, slots, profiles, and other precision-machined geometries.
Reduced Setups: Minimize workpiece repositioning to improve consistency and reduce production time.
