Superstar CX-3D 4 AXIS CNC 90 Degree Rotary Engraving Machine

Superstar CX-3D 4-Axis Swing Spindle Rotary CNC Router

Product Overview

The Superstar CX-3D (manufactured by Jinan Jinshengxing Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd.) is a "Real 4-Axis" machine. Many routers claim to be 4-axis but simply add a rotary lathe on the table (4th axis indexing). The CX-3D is different: its spindle physically swings left and right, providing true interpolated 4-axis motion.

This allows for the machining of complex geometries such as stair handrails with spiral twists, large foam sculptures for theme parks, and automotive molds. It eliminates the "stair-step" effect often seen on 3D parts made with 3-axis machines, producing smooth, hand-carved-quality finishes directly off the machine.

Core Advantages

• ±90° Swing Spindle (B-Axis): The spindle head rotates 180 degrees total, enabling side slotting, horizontal drilling, and carving on curved surfaces that a vertical spindle cannot reach.

• High Z-Axis Clearance: Designed with an elevated gantry (customizable up to 600mm-1000mm) to accommodate large blocks of foam, wood, or Styrofoam for statue and mold production.

• Heavy-Duty Steel Structure: The frame is built from thickened steel tubes and stress-relieved to handle the dynamic forces of the swinging head without vibration, ensuring high surface accuracy.

• Industrial 4-Axis Control: Powered by a Syntec or LNC 4-Axis system capable of RTCP (Rotation Tool Center Point) management, making complex 5-axis-like toolpaths easy to execute.

Detailed Configuration & Component Analysis

• Japan Shimpo Reducer:

To ensure the swinging head moves smoothly and holds its angle against cutting forces, we install Japanese Shimpo planetary gearboxes. These provide zero-backlash transmission, critical for maintaining accuracy during complex 3D curves.

• Syntec Control System:

Real 4-axis machining requires a controller that can calculate the tool tip position in real-time as the angle changes. The Syntec system is the industry standard for this, offering a stable and professional interface for mold makers.

• Servo Drive System:

We use high-inertia Servo motors (not steppers) on all axes. This provides the closed-loop feedback necessary to prevent lost steps during long 3D finishing passes that can last 10+ hours.

Why Choose Superstar CNC?

• Customization Experts: We don't just sell standard boxes. If you need 1.2 meters of Z-travel for a giant statue, we can build the gantry to match.

• Comprehensive Training: 4-axis programming is more complex than 3-axis. We provide detailed tutorials on setting up toolplanes and generating rotary toolpaths in software like PowerMill or Mastercam.

• Factory Direct Support: Direct access to our engineers means faster troubleshooting for complex 4-axis calibration issues.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What software do I need for this machine?

A: You need CAM software that supports 4-axis simultaneous machining, such as PowerMill, Mastercam, or RhinoCAM. We can provide the post-processor for our machine.

Q: Can it also cut flat sheets?

A: Yes. When the spindle is vertical (0 degrees), it functions exactly like a standard 3-axis router for cutting plywood or MDF sheets.

Q: Does it include a rotary lathe attachment?

A: This model features the swinging head. However, we can also add a rotary lathe device (A-axis) on the table if your application requires turning cylindrical logs.

Q: Is it suitable for stone?

A: This specific configuration is optimized for wood, foam, and soft metals. For stone, we recommend our specialized heavy-duty stone series with water cooling.
