5 Axis Cnc Wood Lathe
APEXTECH Five-Axis CNC Woodworking Lathe for Turning and Milling




Simple Description:
This APCAN-1220-7T-5-Axis Wood Turning & Milling Lathe is a high-end integrated woodworking machine that combines turning, milling, drilling, grooving, hollow carving and 3D profiling functions. Equipped with genuine 5-axis linkage and RTCP tool tip following technology, it breaks the limitation of traditional 3-axis and 4-axis wood lathes which can only process symmetrical rotary parts.
The machine adopts integral cast iron bed with stress relief treatment, featuring high rigidity, shock resistance and long-term stable precision. With ±90° B-axis swing angle and 360° infinite rotating A-axis, it realizes multi-angle dead-angle-free machining. All complex procedures can be finished in one-time clamping, effectively eliminating repeated positioning errors and improving finished product surface smoothness and consistency.
It is widely used for processing high-end solid wood furniture parts, such as Y-chair armrests, irregular curved chair legs, twisted table legs and asymmetric curved wood components. It also perfectly fits stair balusters, villa whole wood decoration components, musical instrument accessories and high-grade wooden crafts.
Compatible with mainstream 3D programming software with dedicated post-processing files, the machine supports customized processing of various complex 3D curved wood parts. It is the preferred equipment for high-end custom woodworking factories and foreign trade furniture manufacturers to improve product grade and profit margin.

- The spindle supports a maximum speed of 18,000 rpm and is fitted with an ER40 tool holder, allowing four different tools to be installed simultaneously.
- During processing, the unit enables automatic tool rotation and program-driven tool switching. Combined with ±90° tilt adjustment capability, it effortlessly accomplishes complex machining procedures, including inclined and vertical drilling, grooving, and 3D carving on wood workpieces.


Turning Tools:
- The machine is configured with two mounting stations for turning tools, with pneumatic cylinder-driven tool switching control.
- These two stations support the installation of multiple functional cutters, including V-shaped turning tools, U-shaped turning tools, O-shaped turning tools and parting-off tools.
- Automatic tool swapping can be executed in accordance with workpiece machining demands during operation, fully satisfying diversified turning production requirements.
Sanding Device:
- The machine is equipped with a high-performance belt sanding unit driven by a 1100W brushless servo motor, delivering an adjustable rotating speed of up to 6,000 r/min to accommodate various polishing demands.
- Optional accessories include polishing grinding wheels and reciprocating sanding assemblies, with diverse sandpaper grits available for selection to suit different workpiece processing requirements.


Stable Structure:
- The machine tool body is con-structed from thick-walled steel pipes. Through finiteelement analysis and design, the stress is eliminated, providing a rigid and stable processing platform.
- The Z-axis is configured with four sets of Pinake 25mm linear guide rails and matching linear bearing sliders to guarantee stable performance under high-speed operation. Matched with servo drive assemblies, the axial moving speed can exceed 60,000 mm/min while maintaining low running noise.
Stable Structure:
The machine tool body is con-structed from thick-walled steel pipes. Through finiteelement analysis and design, the stress is eliminated,providing a rigid and stable processing platform. TheY-axis adopts double-rail bilateral drive or stepperbidirectional drive, enabling heaw cutting.


Pure 1500W Bus-type Absolute Servo Motor:
The entire machine is driven by 1500W bus-type absolute servo motors. Compared with conventional pulse-type servo motors, this system delivers superior operational stability and stronger anti-interference performance. It fully meets the high precision and multi-axis synchronous control requirements of 5-axis CNC wood turn-mill machining.

our cases
Case 1
Overseas Woodwork OEM Factory (Jiangsu, China, exports to Middle East & Southeast Asia)
Products: European classical furniture feet, decorative capitals for villa whole wood decoration, carved gate components.
Original troubles: Most overseas drawings feature asymmetric 3D profiles which cannot be machined by ordinary domestic equipment. The factory had to outsource processing with squeezed profit margins.
Actual benefits: Matched complete post-processing files for UG & JDPaint support direct importing of overseas 3D drawings. Test-cut workpieces are provided for customer pre-shipment inspection. The machine replaces three original processing devices, cutting workshop floor space by 50% and maintaining steady long-term export orders.

Case 2
High-end Stair Manufacturer for Villa Projects (Guangdong, China)
Products: Twisted spiral stair balusters, carved starting newel posts, curved handrail connectors.
Original troubles: Spiral twisted profiles relied on manual trimming, leading to a pass rate below 70%. Mass standardized production was impossible, resulting in long delivery cycles for decoration projects.
Actual benefits: The 5-axis linkage system precisely reproduces 3D drawings and forms integrated spiral textures with a dimensional tolerance controlled within 0.02 mm. The product yield is improved to 98%, production cost of stair pillars reduced by 35%, supporting stable cooperation with numerous high-end villa and hotel decoration projects.

Case 3
Wood Crafts & Musical Accessory Factory (Zhejiang, China)
Products: Solid wood vases, twisted lamp posts, guitar structural fittings, high-grade tool wooden handles.
Original troubles: Hollow carving and inclined hole machining easily cause wood chipping and tool marks on traditional equipment; musical components demand ultra-smooth surface quality.
Actual benefits: Equipped with 18,000 rpm four-head electric spindle and RTCP function, the machine completes hollowing, inclined drilling and 3D carving without visible tool joint lines. It prevents wood burning and burrs during processing of walnut, ash and other hardwoods, making finished products reach imported craft standards and greatly boosting the added value of craft orders.

Case 4
Domestic Solid Wood Furniture Manufacturer (Shandong, China)
Products: Y-chair armrests, irregular tiger-shaped legs, twisted table columns, curved components for round-back chairs Original
troubles: The factory adopted separate 4-axis lathes and milling machines previously. Repeated clamping caused obvious assembly gaps. A set of table legs required three separate processes including turning, side milling and drilling, with daily output only 8 sets per worker. Heavy manual polishing restricted the acceptance of high-end overseas orders.
Applied machine: 1500mm working length 5-axis turn-mill lathe with optional automatic sanding module
Actual benefits: All machining procedures are finished within one clamping. The processing time for a single workpiece is reduced from 22 mins to 7 mins, and daily output rises to 28 sets. Consistent dimensional accuracy and superior surface finish meet export standards. The factory successfully cooperates with Nordic furniture purchasers with a 40% increase in product profit, meanwhile cutting labor costs for two polishing workers.
