For woodworking engraving machines, what is the difference between the three axes and the four axes?


When a woodworking engraving machine engraves a three-dimensional product, a three-axis or four-axis linkage type is required. So what is the real difference between the three axes and the four axes? Which one do you choose?
Regardless of the three-axis or the four-axis, there are actually X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis and rotary axis. Look at the same shape. The so-called three-axis is that in the actual engraving process, only three of the four axes are running. For example, the x-axis, the y-axis and the rotary axis are running, then the Z-axis is stopped. The four-axis system, without limitation, can run simultaneously on all four axes, all of which have a wider range of machining shapes, and of course the price is more expensive.
