Four-Axis Gantry Router
Four-Axis CNC Wood Router FS1530A
A flat-bed router can only cut what the tool can reach from above. Add a rotary fourth axis and the head turns into the workpiece, so curved, cylindrical and fully three-dimensional forms become machinable on the same gantry. The FS1530A combines a 1500 by 3000 mm table, a rotary head turning to 90 degrees either way, an Italian HSD 9 kW automatic tool change spindle and Yaskawa servo drives under Syntec control.

Fourth Axis
What the Fourth Axis Actually Adds
A three-axis router moves the tool in X, Y and Z. Every surface it produces has to be reachable from directly above. The fourth axis breaks that constraint by rotating the head, which is what unlocks cylindrical and sculpted 3D work.
- Cylindrical and curved surfacesWith the rotary head engaged, the tool follows the curve instead of stepping over it, so round and swept forms come out true.
- Full three-dimensional formsThe head turns to 90 degrees in each direction, allowing undercut and steep-wall machining that a vertical tool cannot reach.
- Large 3D surfacesThe 1500 by 3000 mm table takes big curved panels and sculpted shapes that would be split into sections on a smaller machine.
- Mould and pattern workDesigned around the mould industry — casting moulds, patterns and master models where the shape is not flat and not simple.

01
Flat Cutting
With the axis locked, the machine behaves as a conventional three-axis router for panel cutting, drilling and shallow engraving.
02
Relief Carving
2.5D and 3D relief work on flat stock, following the profile of a mould or decorative panel surface.
03
Curved Sweeps
The head tilts to follow a curved surface, so swept and rounded forms are cut without stepping or faceting.
04
Cylindrical and 3D
With a rotary fixture the axis turns the work, allowing true cylindrical machining and sculpted three-dimensional shapes.

Italian HSD Spindle
The standard 9 kW ATC spindle is an Italian HSD unit, chosen for power and speed stability on long carving cycles.
Disc Tool Magazine
A disc automatic tool changer holds the cutter set, so a 3D job can run roughing, finishing and undercut tools in one cycle.
German Rack Drive
Helical rack and pinion on X and Y with a TBI ball screw on Z, driven by Yaskawa AC servos for accurate long travels.
Applications
Moulds, Curved Work and 3D Surfaces

A
Mould & Pattern Making
Casting moulds, master patterns and foundry tooling in tooling board, resin and soft metal.
B
Transport & Marine
Automotive, ship, yacht and rail components and models, where large curved surfaces are the norm.
C
Architecture & Interiors
Curved panel work, columns, balustrades and feature shapes carved from wood and composite board.
D
Sculpture & 3D Art
Relief sculpture, three-dimensional artwork and cylindrical carving projects of substantial size.
E
Signage & Advertising

Quality & Aftercare
How the Machine Is Built and Backed
Frame preparation, assembly verification and a service commitment that does not depend on shipping the machine back.
Machined Frame
The welded frame is milled and drilled on a machining centre to keep mounting faces flat and holes on position.
Surface Preparation
Blasting, filling and derusting before painting, then the finish is applied, which is what protects the frame over years outdoors or in a dusty shop.
Verified on Assembly
Squareness, travel accuracy, machining accuracy and repeatability are measured with instruments once assembly is complete.

FAQ
Four-Axis CNC Wood Router FS1530A Questions
The fourth axis is a rotary head that turns the tool around the workpiece, so the machine can cut curved and cylindrical surfaces as well as flat ones. On the FS1530A the head turns to 90 degrees in either direction, which is what allows full three-dimensional machining of large curved forms, moulds and sculpted shapes rather than just 2D profiles and 2.5D pockets.
It is used mainly for mould and pattern work: casting moulds, automotive, marine and yacht parts, aerospace and rail components, and large three-dimensional surfaces. It also machines wood and plywood, plastics such as acrylic, PVC and HDPE, soft metals including aluminium and brass, and composite panels.
The standard spindle is an Italian HSD 9.0 kW ATC unit running at 24,000 rpm with an ER32 collet. Air-cooled 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 kW spindles at 18,000 rpm are also available. Axis motion is driven by Japanese Yaskawa AC servo motors through German helical rack and pinion on X and Y and a TBI ball screw on Z.
It runs a Syntec controller and accepts G code and M code. Files can also be prepared in DSP, NC Studio or Mach3 environments. Common design software including Type3, Ucancam, Artcam, Alphacam and Cabinet Vision is supported, so existing CAD and CAM workflows transfer without a conversion step.
Main components carry a three-year warranty and wear parts are covered for 18 months, with 7 by 24 after-sales support in English, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese. Email enquiries are answered within 12 hours on a GMT plus 8 schedule, and production capacity is 30 sets per month.
The standard working area is 1500 by 3000 mm with 300 mm of Z travel. Options include 1300 by 2500 mm and 2000 by 3000 mm working areas, and Z travel can be extended to 400, 500 or 600 mm. Larger or custom table sizes are confirmed against a drawing before production.
