Radonix interface / XYZ motion / no THC
3-Axis Plasma & Oxy-Fuel CNC Controller with Z Motion
Three-axis control for machines with XY contour motion and a pulse/direction Z lift. The interface manages programmed pierce, cut and retract positions, but it does not provide closed-loop arc-voltage Torch Height Control.

Machine architecture
Machine & Kinematics
Machine & Kinematics
- XYZ motion: interpolated X/Y cutting motion with pulse/direction Z positioning.
- Programmed height positions: configure pierce, cutting and retract positions through controlled Z motion and the engineered machine sequence.
- Operator-controlled adjustment: jog or trim Z through the interface; this is not automatic arc-voltage height control.
Control & I/O
- Plasma or oxy-fuel process I/O: map torch or gas commands, purge and process timing.
- Machine permissives: map Arc OK where available, alarms and machine-specific permissives.
THC boundary: XYZ Cutter does not include closed-loop arc-voltage feedback, automatic torch-height correction, THC target-voltage/gain/deadband control, or THC anti-dive/hold behavior. The labelled capability comparison below separates included and excluded functions.

Software workflow
Software & Workflow
- 01Prepare the job
Load the supported geometry and verify kerf, leads, cut order and machine coordinates.
- 02Set Z positions
Define the programmed pierce, cut and retract positions for the actual lift and process.
- 03Dry-run
Check motion, limits, clearances, process timing and safety states without activating the cutting process.
- 04Cut and monitor
Run while monitoring XYZ position, feed, process I/O and alarms. Height is not corrected from live arc voltage.
