Five axes — disc
The saw assembly cuts and orients the head. The records also show disc work on curved relief.
CS-Q3420-450 — 5-axis CNC bridge saw + spindle
Chaosheng · Production modernization · 5 AXES — DISC + SPINDLE
Disc cutting and additional machining operations on one platform. Explore the machine in action, its features and the points that need to be defined for your production.
Explore the operations ↓The spindle adds operations
+ Spindle
An additional machining unit broadens the range of operations. The videos show localized tool work and results with an internal opening and hole.
The “+1” identifies the additional spindle. It does not mean a sixth axis. Available movements depend on the machine configuration.
From slab to part, according to the design
Cutting and preparation
Investigate slab parts, cut orientation and disc operation sequences.
Tops with openings and holes
Relate geometry, tools, workholding and finish to the needs of countertops and components.
Localized machining
Examine additional spindle operations and the work remaining after machining.
Curves and reliefs with a disc
Investigate forms compatible with the tool, material and configuration movements.
Suitability depends on the part and fabrication conditions. These examples do not establish universal capacity for materials, thicknesses or geometries.
Watch the movement. Examine the result.
The eight records show different aspects of the machine and presented parts. Video excerpts are not complete production cycles or performance tests.
01 — Platform, table and head
General view of the CS-Q3420-450, with the head moving and changing orientation over the table.
02 — Disc cutting and head orientation
Disc cutting in a rectangular piece and a change in head orientation. The documentation describes the saw assembly as five-axis.
03 — Localized machining with the spindle
The spindle tool performs a localized operation on the slab, with visible material removal.
04 — Top with an internal opening and hole
Result presented in record V019: a top with a rectangular internal opening, rounded corners and a circular hole. The same video includes a spindle operation.
05 — Channels beside the internal opening
Result presented in record V016: a top with an internal opening, hole and side channels reaching the opening. The complete channel fabrication sequence is not documented.
06 — Curves and reliefs worked with a disc
A disc working on a surface with curved ribs and grooves. In this record, the demonstrated relief is associated with the disc.
07 — Geometry over the slab image
A screen with geometry overlaid on the slab image. The record shows visual positioning on the panel without documenting the entire capture and programming workflow.
08 — References for work preparation
Preparation records involving disc referencing, spindle tool referencing and a probe contacting the slab.
Geometry over the material image
The data sheet lists a HIKVISION camera and visual positioning. The panel shown displays geometry over an image of the slab.
Ludson describes the use of CAD files for this positioning. Accepted formats, calibration, compensation and the transition to programming need to be clarified with the manufacturer.
Slab image → panel reference → overlaid geometry
Before defining the workflow, check how the image is captured, how coordinates are related to the part and which steps depend on the operator.
Features to prepare and guide the work
Disc and tool referencing
Automatic referencing devices are listed in the documentation. The records show referencing stages for the disc and spindle tool.
Tool setter
Its function relates to tool referencing. The method, parameters and sequence must be confirmed for the configuration.
Thickness probe
Automatic measurement is listed in the documentation. The record shows the probe contacting the slab; measurement conditions and accuracy require confirmation.
Tilting table
Declared range of 0–85°. Load capacity, procedures and safety conditions must accompany the configuration.
Vacuum cup system
The data sheet lists two units, each with a declared safe working load of 150 kg. System capacity depends on operating conditions and must not be calculated simply by adding those values.
These features support operation. Their presence does not demonstrate automatic tool changing, wear diagnosis or fully autonomous operation.
ONE MACHINE, MORE PROCESS POSSIBILITIES
Combining a disc and spindle brings together operations that usually need to be assessed separately. The actual benefit depends on the part, tools, fabrication sequence and selected configuration.
Reference data for defining the configuration
The values below bring together available information and outstanding questions. Processing dimensions, Z travel, height, thickness and cutting depth are different measurements.

The questions start with your production
Part and material
What products, materials, dimensions and finishes must be produced?
Operations
What will be done with the disc, spindle and subsequent stages? What tooling and workholding are needed?
Movements and limits
Which axes operate simultaneously? What is the useful travel of each axis? How are the envelope, feeding height, admissible thickness and cutting depth defined?
Programming
Which CAD formats, software, licenses and programming features are included? How are calibration, toolpaths and simulation handled?
Existing production
How does the machine relate to the company’s existing equipment, team and transfers?
Installation and supply
What are the power, water, air, drainage, foundation, access and safety requirements? What is included in tooling, installation, training, warranty and support?
Answers must identify the specific configuration and its documents, without transferring parameters from one variant to another.
A real part. A complete process.
- Identify the material and dimensions.
- Show the part before and after.
- Specify the configuration, disc, tools and workholding.
- Record preparation, changes and operator interventions.
- Show the complete operation sequence.
- Measure time and record operating conditions.
- Check finish, dimensions and acceptance criteria.
- Identify manual work and subsequent operations.
An edited video’s duration is not cycle time. A demonstration should make both the result and the work needed to achieve it understandable.
Investment starts with defining the process
Present the product, material, dimensions, operations and target volume. Include existing machines and installation conditions.
This information helps discuss a configuration that fits the operation and identify tests needed before a commercial proposal.
