XYZ Router
  • 3-Axis
  • Used in Cutting CNC machines

Introduction

One-line value prop: 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)

Machine & Kinematics

  • 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.

Control & I/O

  • 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).

Software & Workflow

    • 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.

Key Capabilities (at a glance)

  • 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

  •  Power-loss recovery (Restart from line): Safely resumes from the last executed G-code line with automatic re-arm of spindle, vacuum, and safe Z re-entry.
  • Surface Scan capability for automatic Z-axis compensation according to the irregularities of the workpiece surface.
  • Ability to modify the executable file (Rotate, Scale, Flip, Fit Dimension).
  • Real-time reference displacement (Displace Reference) during job execution.
  • Independent homing function for Gantry motors, enabling automatic orthogonality (X,Y) or alignment (Z) calibration.
  • Dual-purpose sensor support for using a single sensor as both Home and Limit switch simultaneously.Power-loss recovery (Restart from line): Safely resumes from the last executed G-code line with automatic re-arm of spindle, vacuum, and safe Z re-entry.

Standard Workflow

  1. Home axes; set work offset (G54).

  2. Open DXF/G-code; map layers to tools/strategies; confirm comps, step-downs, and Floor.

  3. Run. At each tool call, system retracts to SafeZ, stops spindle, and prompts for manual tool change → (optional) Z tool-setterResume.

  4. Use Feed/Speed overrides, Pause/Resume, or Single-step as needed.

  5. If interrupted, use Restart from line: re-arm spindle/vacuum, confirm SafeZ re-entry, and continue.

  6. Review and save the run report.

Need live arc-voltage height control? Choose XYZ Cutter + THC for automatic standoff management on uneven sheets.

If you want, I can paste this into your site/CMS or update the canvas draft to match this final version.

Key Features of Radonix CNC Software

🔹 Six-axis router support:

Coordinate XYZ + up to three rotary axes (A/B/C) across wood, stone, milling, mold-making, and dental machines—up to 6 simultaneous axes.

🔹 RTCP (Rotation Tool Center Point):

Keeps the tool tip exactly on the programmed path during 5-axis rotations—no re-posting when you change head lengths or pivots.

🔹Multi-spindle heads

Run spindles synchronously or sequentially with per-spindle ON/OFF, RPM, offsets, and tool numbers.

🔹 Automatic tool changing:

Works with linear, rotary/carousel, and jack magazines—full clamp/unclamp sequencing, interlocks, tool table, and safe recovery.

🔹 Automatic Z tool offset & referencing:

Touch-setter cycles capture tool length (and optional diameter) for accurate depths and wear compensation after each change.

🔹 3D toolpath & rotary visualization:

Preview the job in true 3D with live A/B/C angles to verify reach, orientation, and motion before cutting.

🔹 Floor (depth) limit:

Enforces a maximum Z penetration so the tool never cuts past the programmed floor—protects the table, fixtures, and laminated stacks.
