2-Axis CNC machining refers to a CNC lathe which only needs two axises, X and Z, to perform its function.
All forms of CNC equipment have 2 or more directions of motion called axes. There are 2 axis types: 1. Lineardriven along a straight path. 2. Rotary- driven along a circular path. On a linear axis , the number of revolutions of the axis drive motor precisely controls the amount of linear motion along the axis and it's very precise. http://www.equipmentmls.com/info/howtobuy-cnc-machine-controls.html
X and Z axis, no Y axis
The two axises used on a CNC lathe are:X - CrossZ - Longitudinal
A 5-axis CNC is a computer numerically controlled tool that is used in parts manufacture. This creates parts by starting with material and milling away the excess.
Five axis CNC machining is an advanced CNC machining technology that can perform cutting operations on multiple axes simultaneously to achieve complex shape machining. Compared with traditional three-axis machining, five-axis CNC machining has greater flexibility and accuracy. Five axis CNC machining is usually operated using a CNC machine tool with five independent motion axes. These five axes include the X axis, Y axis, Z axis, and two rotation axes, commonly referred to as the A axis and C axis. X. The Y and Z axes are responsible for linear movement, while the A and C axes are responsible for rotation. By simultaneously controlling the motion of these five axes, a five axis CNC machine tool can perform cutting operations in multiple directions, thereby achieving complex shape machining. This machining technology is suitable for workpieces that require cutting on multiple planes, such as curved parts, complex engraving, spiral shapes, etc. The main advantages of five axis CNC machining include: Complex shape machining: Five axis CNC machining can simultaneously perform cutting operations on multiple angles and planes, making it easier and more accurate to process complex shaped parts. Reduced process: Compared to traditional multi process machining, five axis CNC machining can complete multiple surface machining through one clamping and continuous cutting, reducing process and clamping errors. Improve production efficiency: the simultaneous cutting ability of five axis NC machining can significantly improve production efficiency and shorten Makespan. Improving surface quality: Through five axis CNC machining, smoother and finer surface quality can be achieved, reducing subsequent manual finishing. It should be noted that the five axis CNC machining technology is more complex than traditional three axis machining and requires a higher level of operation and programming skills. At the same time, the equipment and maintenance costs of the five axis CNC machine tool are also high. However, for applications that require high-precision and complex shape machining, five axis CNC machining is a very valuable technology.
CNC denotes Computer Numerically Controlled. so, a cnc machine has all its functions ie: speed, axis movement, tooling selection ran by the computer. High speed is just that, so you can get a high speed CNC.

There are two limit switches per axis. Each switch is located at both extremities and they prevent the axis to go beyond the limits.
in cnc milling bed move linear motion in three axis means x,y and z and there is not attach ATC ( automatic tool changer). in vertical machinnig center bed moves linearly in x and y axis and tool moves linearly in z-axis and ATC attach with vertical machining center.
The three axises of a CNC milling machine are:X - Left and right movement of the tableY - Forward and backward movement of the tableZ - Up and down movement of the table
God, its called the sun.
The 2 classes of CNC screw machining are mechanical and NC. You can read about this distinction at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_machine
