Sketch for Custom 5 Axis CNC (Concept Model) Ended
About the job
Hello,
I am a furniture designer trying to design a custom 5 Axis CNC machine with a dedicated Rotary (Lathe) attachment for making chair parts.
I am going to work with a Chinese manufacturer to do the final production design, but I would like a 3d model that establishes the design intent and driving parameters. I work in Rhino 3D, so a .3dm file would be nice, but is not required. A .STEP would be good. For models with mechanical assemblies, I can open Fusion 360 and OnShape files.
Core Machine Specifications
Machine Type: 5-Axis Gantry CNC with integrated Lathe/Rotary axis. Fixed table, moving gantry.
Rotary Capacity: Must accommodate workpieces up to 34" in length (Headstock to Tailstock). The pieces will be up to 16-18" in diameter.
Head Configuration: 5-Axis articulating head (B and C axes) for complex furniture joinery and 3D carving.
Drive System: Precision linear rails and ball screws on all primary axes (X, Y, Z).
Rotary Axis Hardware: Dedicated headstock with a 4-jaw chuck and a tailstock with a live center.
Primary Dimensional Constraints
Overall Footprint: 63" (W) x 90" (D).
Total Height: 70-80"
Gantry Width: 63" (spanning the table and rotary).
Effective Table Size: ~36"x ~48". I would like to machine all sides of pieces approximately 20"x20"x2".
Base Frame Height: ~12". To keep the machine under 70-80" of overall height, the table should be relatively close to the ground.
Functional Requirements
Clearance: The Z-axis and... read more

Base Frame Height: ~12". To keep the machine under 70-80" of overall height, the table should be relatively close to the ground.
Functional Requirements
Clearance: The Z-axis and 5-axis head must have sufficient travel to clear the 34" rotary workpiece even when the spindle is tilted at 90°.
Mechanical Logic: Logical placement of stepper/servo motors, cable tracks (drag chains), and limit switches.
Rigidity: Frame design should account for the weight of the 63" gantry and the forces of 5-axis milling.
These dimensions are all given in inches because that is what I use in the USA, but the dimensions should probably be metric standards to communicate with the machine manufacturer. Please model the frame using Metric Standards (mm). Use HIWIN-style 25mm linear rails and 2510 ball screws. The 5-axis head should be modeled as a dual-axis AC Trunnion or Swivel head. Ensure the Y-axis is a dual-drive system to support the 63" gantry span.
I have attached a 3D sketch to give you something to work off of.
I am primarily interested in designing a machine that fits all of these technical parameters and has a realistic placement of mechanical components.
