Import DXF/G-code and machine wood, plastics, composites, and plate aluminum with guided manual tool changes, Z probing, and power-loss restart for dependable production.
Who uses it: Woodworking & cabinetry · sign & exhibit · plastics/composites shops · light aluminum fixture makers.
Works with: Gantry routers with X-Y-Z motion and a spindle/VFD (single-spindle).
Compatible controllers: PC-SMART 4A / PC-SMART 3AS / PC-PRO LAN 4A
Supported files: DXF and standard G-code (e.g., ArtCAM / PowerMill posts)
3-axis contouring (X, Y, Z) with homing, soft limits, and work offsets (G54–G59).
Manual tool change workflow: safe retract to SafeZ, spindle stop, on-screen checklist (change tool → confirm → optional Z probe), then resume.
Optional A-axis indexing (rotary) for wrap/4-face jobs.
Spindle ON/OFF and commanded RPM (VFD), vacuum zone valves, dust/mist/air, clamps/fixtures, beacons, guards & Emergency.
Inputs for home/limits, tool-setter (Z), door/guard, vacuum OK.
Operator aids: Feed/Speed overrides, Pause/Resume, Single-step, and Restart from line (power-loss recovery).
DXF/G-code import with tool library and layer→tool mapping.
Strategies: profile, pocket, drill/peck, ramp/helix entry, multi-pass step-down, tabs / onion-skin, climb/conventional.
Tool diameter compensation, lead-in/out, corner smoothing, rest-machining for cleanup tools.
3D toolpath preview for verification; Floor (depth) limit to protect table/fixtures.
Job reports: cycle time, path length, tools used, alarms/pauses, operator notes.
Guided manual tool change with SafeZ retract and spindle interlocks
Z tool-setter cycle for accurate depth after each change
3D toolpath preview and rotary axis display (if A-axis option installed)
Floor depth restriction, soft limits, safe Pause/Resume
Restart from last G-code line after stop or power cut
Vacuum/dust control, clamps & safety interlocks
Home axes; set work offset (G54).
Open DXF/G-code; map layers to tools/strategies; confirm comps, step-downs, and Floor.
Run. At each tool call, system retracts to SafeZ, stops spindle, and prompts for manual tool change → (optional) Z tool-setter → Resume.
Use Feed/Speed overrides, Pause/Resume, or Single-step as needed.
If interrupted, use Restart from line: re-arm spindle/vacuum, confirm SafeZ re-entry, and continue.
Review and save the run report.
Need an automatic magazine, a sensor-verified M6 sequence or automatic tool offsets? Choose XYZ Router + ATC.
XYZ Router remains a guided manual-tool-change interface.
Safe Z retract, spindle stop and an on-screen checklist support a controlled manual tool-change process.
An optional tool setter measures the active tool and applies the Z offset for accurate machining.
Preview toolpaths and cutting depths before machining, with support for an optional indexed A-axis.
Soft limits, Floor restrictions and configurable guards, vacuum and clamp inputs help protect the machine and workpiece.
Resume from a selected G-code block with spindle and machine services re-armed and a controlled Safe Z re-entry.
Manage spindle speed, vacuum, extraction and clamps, plus beacons and other auxiliary equipment, from the interface.
Set the maximum Z penetration to help protect the spoilboard, table and fixtures.
