LOTUS 5 AXIS CNC ROUTER

Ultra-spec CNC Machine with 5 Axis

The Lotus 5 Axis CNC Router is not just a machine; it’s a powerhouse of innovation, designed for complex and intricate machining tasks. With its full 5-axis simultaneous machining capability, this router excels in 3D machining, allowing for the creation of highly detailed and complex geometries that would be impossible with traditional 3-axis machines. Whether you’re working with intricate designs or large-scale projects, the Lotus 5 Axis CNC Router delivers precision and accuracy with every cut. 

Overview

Automatic Tool Change

Comprising of 12 x ISO 30 tools, the Lotus 5 axis CNC router offers the user quick tool changes on a carousel system, without the need for manual intervention.

Complex Geometries

These machines can work on three-dimensional surfaces, enabling the creation of intricate and complex designs that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with a 3 or 4 axis CNC machine.  

Enhanced Precision

Lotus 5-axis CNC routers can manipulate the cutting tool from multiple angles, allowing for intricate and precise cuts, contours, and shapes. This results in high-precision finished products. 

Improved Precision

With the ability to approach workpieces from different angles, the Lotus 5-axis CNC router can certainly achieve smoother surface finishes, reducing the need for post-finishing.

Versatile CNC Machine

The Lotus can handle a wide range of materials, including wood, aluminium, plastics, and composites, making them suitable for various industries such as aerospace, automotive, and woodworking. 

Syntec Control system

The Syntec 5 axis control system comes as standard with all of the Lotus CNC routers. This sophisticated CNC control system is feature-packed and gives the user ease of control and numerous functions such as tool wear compensation.

Machine Stability

The moving table enhances the Lotus’s stability and strength, complementing the stationary gantry system, ensuring precise and consistent cutting performance. This design minimises vibration and enhances accuracy, making it ideal for high-precision tasks.

Separate Control Box

Having the control box integrated into the CNC carries risks such as fire and component failure due to excessive debris contamination.

Hiteco 11kW Spindle

All Lotus 5 axis CNC routers come with the renowned Hiteco 11kW water-cooled spindle, offering accuracy and precision at its finest. 

Bespoke Sizes

Since Lotus CNC routers are custom-made, we have the flexibility to tailor the sizes to match your specific needs. Our team of engineers is ready to collaborate with you and provide guidance.

Moving Bed

As standard the Lotus 5 axis CNC router comes with moving tables with an aluminium bed.

Fusion 360 Compatible

Working alongside Fusion 360, the Lotus 5-axis CNC router offers extensive 3D capabilities. All Opus engineers are trained fully with Fusion 360 CAD/CAM software.

Warranty

We offer 2 years full parts and labour warranty with all Lotus 5 axis CNC machines. This longer warranty period shows we have greater confidence in our Lotus 5 axis CNC’s durability and quality.

Delivery

Your Lotus 5 axis CNC will be delivered ATC by a curtain side lorry, which will require a heavy-duty forklift. 

Installation

One of the Opus engineers will carry out the full installation. All Opus engineers are experienced and go through vigorous in-house training programs throughout their Opus careers.

Training

Machine and software training is fully inclusive with the Lotus 5 Axis CNC and is divided into three sections: machine operation, software, and safety. We customise all training to match individual capabilities.
