MultiCam has launched the MultiCam 8000 series, a 5-axis router for high-speed, heavy-duty routing in the woodworking, plastics, non-ferrous metals and composites industries. This five-axis CNC machining opens up a world of new capabilities for MultiCam. In addition to the standard X, Y and Z axes, the end of the Z axis features a 440-degree rotational axis and a 150-degree swing axis.
The operator using the MultiCam 8000 series may programme all five axes to move simultaneously, or programme the fourth and fifth axes separately or locked in the vertical position to run the 8000 Series as a standard three-axis machine. Using all five axes of movement isn’t always necessary. Five-axis machines are extremely flexible with the ability to expand a shop’s capabilities for future business.
