4  Plus 1 CNC Machine

 

Campro USA introduces the 4 Plus 1 CNC Machine lineup, engineered for precision, versatility, and reliability without the full cost or complexity of simultaneous 5-axis systems. Built on a foundation of Meehanite cast iron with box way construction, they ensure exceptional rigidity and vibration control. A powerful 12,000 RPM CAT-40 Big-Plus spindle handles tough materials with ease. On our CPV1050B platform, you can choose from 320 mm, 400 mm, or compact trunnion tables to reduce operator intervention and part repositioning. Equipped with Fanuc Oi-F Plus controls, high-speed rapids, and backed by U.S.-based service, Campro’s 4+1 series is

trusted by engineers and machinists.

Benefits of 4  Plus 1 CNC Machine

 

True Multi-Face Machining Without Full 5-Axis Complexity

 

The 4+1 layout provides access to five sides of a part in a single setup, significantly reducing fixture changes, operator intervention, and alignment errors, while simplifying toolpath programming compared to full simultaneous 5-axis systems.

 

Exceptional Accuracy from Fixed Workholding

 

Because the workpiece remains securely fixtured while the rotary axis indexes, you eliminate cumulative setup errors, making it ideal for tight-tolerance applications such as aerospace brackets, mold cores, or prismatic medical parts.

 

Engineered for Heavy-Duty Machining

With hardened box ways, Meehanite cast construction, and high-torque spindles, these machines are designed to handle aggressive cuts in tough materials without deflection, resulting in improved surface finishes and extended tool life.

 

Greater Part Variety, Less Setup Time

 

Whether you’re switching from aluminum housings to tool steel components, the 4+1 configuration allows for high-mix, low-volume production with minimal downtime, especially critical for job shops and short-run manufacturing.

 

Smaller Footprint, Big Capability

 

Compared to full 5-axis platforms, these machines deliver most of the benefits in a more compact form, saving valuable shop floor space while still accommodating a broad range of part sizes and weights.

Applications Across Diverse Industries

 

Aerospace Components

 

Campro’s 4+1 CNC machines are ideal for aerospace parts that demand tight tolerances and multiple machining angles. Brackets, housings, and structural components made from titanium or stainless steel benefit from reduced setup times and improved accuracy, meeting the industry's stringent quality standards.

Automotive & Motorsports

 

From engine parts to suspension components, these machines support complex geometries and short-run production with high repeatability. The 4+1 format ensures faster cycle times and consistent performance, critical in competitive, fast-paced manufacturing environments.

Mold & Die Manufacturing

 

Toolmakers rely on 4+1 machines for machining cores, cavities, and inserts with intricate details. The rigid box-way design and high-speed spindle enable precise milling of hardened tool steels, resulting in superior surface finishes and extended tool life.

Medical Devices & Implants

 

Perfect for low-volume, high-precision production, these machines handle orthopedic implants, surgical tools, and fixtures with ease. Multi-face access in a single setup ensures dimensional accuracy in demanding materials, such as titanium and cobalt-chrome.

Job Shops & Contract Manufacturers

 

High-mix shops benefit from the 4+1 machine’s flexibility, which allows for quick changeovers and minimal fixturing across diverse part types. This adaptability enables manufacturers to serve various sectors without compromising precision or productivity.
