Advanced 5-axis CNC machining for complex 3D forms, precision components and specialist production where conventional routing reaches its limits.
The Lotus combines simultaneous multi-axis capability with a 12-position ISO30 carousel tool changer, Hiteco 11kW water-cooled spindle and Syntec 5-axis control for demanding component machining and high-quality surface finishing.
The Lotus is built for manufacturers that need the cutting tool to approach a component from multiple angles, machine complex 3D geometry and reduce the number of separate setups required to finish a part.
Five-axis movement gives operators access to contoured faces, detailed forms and difficult geometries while the Hiteco spindle, Syntec control and carousel ATC provide the production platform needed for advanced component work.
Multiple axes can work together so the cutter approaches the component from more appropriate angles for complex forms and detailed surfaces.
The Lotus uses specialist spindle, control and automatic tool change hardware suited to demanding machining and precision component production.
Opus supports the Lotus alongside Fusion 360 workflows, including post-processor guidance, machine operation and software training.
The Lotus gives manufacturers multi-angle tool access, fewer setups and a production platform designed for advanced 3D machining and precision component work.
A conventional CNC router moves across X, Y and Z. The Lotus adds further rotational movement so the tool can work from multiple angles, helping produce complex 3D forms, smoother surfaces and detailed parts that are difficult to achieve with a standard 3-axis or 4-axis machine.
Designed for advanced 3D machining where complex forms need to be cut from multiple angles.
Multi-angle tool access supports accurate machining across contoured surfaces and detailed components.
More faces can be machined without repeatedly removing, rotating and re-fixturing the workpiece.
Approaching the workpiece from suitable tool angles can help reduce secondary finishing on complex surfaces.
Suitable for advanced work in materials including wood, aluminium, plastics and composites.
Ideal for mould-making, automotive, aerospace-style work and other high-value component applications.
The Lotus combines a Syntec 5-axis control platform, Hiteco spindle technology, automatic tool changing and a stable moving-table design for high-precision production work.
The moving table and stationary gantry design help support machine strength, reduce vibration and maintain consistent cutting performance.
The separate control box helps keep key electrical components away from excess dust, debris and workshop contamination.
The Lotus works alongside Fusion 360 for advanced 3D CAD/CAM workflows, with training and post-processor support available through Opus engineers.
The Lotus is available in standard or bespoke sizes, allowing the Opus team to advise on the most suitable configuration for your component sizes and production needs.
The Lotus range is available in standard bed sizes from 1300 x 1300mm through to 2000 x 6000mm, with bespoke sizes also available for specialist production requirements.
