Overview

Automatic Tool Change

Comprising 12 ISO 30 tools, the Lotus 5-axis CNC router offers users quick tool changes on a carousel system, eliminating 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-axis 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 standard with all Lotus CNC routers. This sophisticated CNC control system is feature-packed, providing the user with ease of control and numerous functions, including tool wear compensation.

Machine Stability

The moving table enhances the Lotus’s stability and strength, complementing the stationary gantry system to ensure precise and consistent cutting performance. This design minimises vibration and improves 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 the finest accuracy and precision.

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 fully trained in Fusion 360 CAD/CAM software.

Warranty

We offer a 2-year complete parts and labour warranty with all Lotus 5-axis CNC machines. This extended warranty period demonstrates our greater confidence in the durability and quality of our Lotus 5-axis CNCs.

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 complete the 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.
