Radonix Sewing Interfaces — XY / XYR / XYRS
One-line value prop: Consistent, production-grade stitching from DXF patterns with stitch-length control, back-tack macros, and smart pause/recovery.
Who uses it: Upholstery & automotive interiors, leather goods & footwear, bags/backpacks, safety gear (belts, harnesses), filters & industrial textiles.
Works with: XY pattern-sewing tables that move the material under a stationary sewing head (single-needle lockstitch or chainstitch).
Compatible controllers: PC-SMART 4A / PC-SMART 3AS / PC-PRO LAN 4A
Supported files: DXF (paths → stitches), internal pattern library
XY gantry/frame positions the workpiece under the needle; configurable work envelope, homing & soft limits.
Material fixturing: clamps/hoops/vacuum supported with programmable keep-outs and prompts.
Optional fixture presets for quick repeat setups (left/right mirror, rotate 90°).
Step/dir motion with look-ahead for smooth curves and corners.
I/O mapping for needle up/down, presser foot lift, thread-break / bobbin-low, clamps, beacons/alarms, and full safety chain.
Stitches-per-mm sync: ties XY feed to needle RPM to keep stitch length constant through speed changes and corners.
Feed override slider, safe Pause/Resume, and manual jog keys for setup.
Load DXF → preview appears on the grid.
Set origin & fix the work (clamps/hoop/vacuum).
Choose settings: stitch length, start/end macro, corner rules, seam offset.
XYR/XYRS: set R/S heights, delays, and stage actions.
Dry-run (needle disabled) to validate clearances and keep-outs.
Run with speed override; use Pause/Resume for inserts or checks.
Save report (stitch count, time, stops/alarms) for repeat jobs.
DXF-first workflow: load a DXF and cut/sew—preview on a gridded canvas; set Home / X0 / Y0 in one click.
Stitch quality: target stitch length (mm), corner slow-down, back-tack/bar-tack macros, seam-offset & mirroring.
Safe operation: emergency chain, limit/home pins, thread-(string) break input, Pause/Resume with position hold.
Operator control: Speed 100% override slider, Jog keys, Run / Pause / Restart, on-screen alarms.
Use when: you need reliable DXF-to-stitch sewing with standard head signals.
Head control via I/O macros: needle up/down, presser-foot lift, thread cutter.
Quality parameters: Feed, Feeds list (10–100%), Gap, Overlap, Margins (Top/Bottom/Left/Right), GoBack for neat tie-offs.
Safety & sensors: thread (string) sensor, door/limit pins, E-stop.
UI cues (from your screen): Load File, Run, Pause, Speed 100%, Home, X± / Y± jog.
Adds: R axis = servo control of the vertical head/needle.
Stitch-per-mm sync: ties XY feed to R-axis motion for consistent stitch length through speed changes.
Programmable heights & timing: ZDelay, Height, StitchCount / StitchStepCount; precise needle-down holds at corners.
Cleaner starts/ends: back-tack/bar-tack with exact needle depth; smoother corners via JunctionFactor / Smoothness (ToolPath).
UI cues (from your screen): Absolute/Relative readouts incl. R, per-axis velocity & step settings.
Adds: S axis = auxiliary stage (e.g., servo presser foot / thread-cutter / park).
Automated cycles: Fix Stage / Return, servo foot-lift, thread trim, and park sequences with S-ZUp / S-ZDown / S-Cut sensors.
Robust sensing: inputs for HomePin(X/Y/R/S), Emergency, Jog, Limit pins, StringSensor, Run/Stop, Park—all visible in the InPorts tree.
Throughput & finish: fewer manual steps, consistent trims, protected fabric at corner turns.
UI cues (from your screen): R,S+ / R,S- jog buttons, Speed override, Restart, Fix Stage.
Gridded preview of the stitch path with a live crosshair.
Speed override slider and Run / Pause / Restart controls.
Home / X0 / Y0 tools for fast alignment.
ToolPath tuning (per your Settings panels): Acceleration, TraverseVelocity, TraverseAcceleration, JunctionFactor, Smoothness, MinLineLength, HideTraverseLines, View = X,Y / X,Y,R / X,Y,R,S.
XY (Essential) — 2-axis pattern sewing. Head actions are handled by I/O timing macros (needle up/down, presser foot, cutter).
Best for simple, repeatable seams and low-complexity fixtures.
XYR (Advanced) — Adds a servo-controlled R axis for the vertical head/needle.
Gives precise needle positioning, stitch-length synchronization through corners, programmable lifts, and cleaner back-tacks.
XYRS (Pro) — Adds a fourth S axis for an auxiliary head stage (e.g., thread-cutter / presser-foot / park module) with sensors.
Automates trim/foot-lift/park cycles and supports more complex jigs or multi-step operations.
Seamlessly load and execute DXF files without the need for G-code conversion — streamlining your workflow and reducing setup time.
Select specific parts from complex drawings and customize cutting order with intuitive control over toolpath sequencing.
Scale, rotate, and mirror parts directly within the interface — with live toolpath previews to ensure precision.
Manually drag and drop parts onto your material sheet to accommodate irregular shapes, pre-cut stock, or remnant reuse.
Set up to three independent pause points — before the cut, during the cut, and after the cut — for manual checks or operational adjustments.
Execute toolpaths in reverse to minimize material warping or adjust final exit points based on design needs.
Perform a complete motion test without activating the torch. Ideal for verifying the toolpath before live cutting.
You set a target stitch length (e.g., 3.0 mm). The controller synchronizes XY feed with the sewing head so each needle cycle advances exactly that distance, even if the operator changes speed or the planner slows for corners.
The interface can insert a short, programmable lock sequence—commonly called back-tack/bar-tack—at the start and finish of every seam.
Load a DXF motif and tell the interface the target Width/Height of the quilt block plus margins/overlap; the software rescales and places the pattern for you.
