Textile / knife / sewing CNC control
Digital control for flexible materialsCut cold. Sew smart.
Operator-focused control for knife cutters, conveyor tables and automated sewing systems handling fabric, leather, foam, gasket and technical textiles.
01 Application overview
From roll stock to repeatable parts.
Radonix coordinates gantry motion, knife orientation, vacuum, conveyor indexing and optional vision in one configurable platform. Sewing profiles extend the same production mindset to automated stitch paths.
Cold cutting
Knife processes avoid a heat-affected zone and suit materials where a clean, unburnt edge matters.
Continuous handling
Synchronise vacuum zones and conveyor indexing for repeatable roll-to-part production.
Tool flexibility
Configure drag, tangential, oscillating or round knives with marking, creasing and perforating options.
02 Control profiles
Built for the process,
not just the axes.
A focused set of knife and sewing profiles supports flatbed, conveyor and automated stitch applications.

Process / workflow03 Operator workflow
A cleaner digital cutting workflow
Keep geometry, material handling and tool behaviour visible from import to completed nest.
Import and nest
Load 2D geometry, set scale and orientation, then arrange parts for material yield.
Select the tool
Assign knife, marker, crease or perforation operations and confirm offsets.
Secure and register
Enable vacuum zones, align the material and use registration options where fitted.
Cut or sew
Run the sequence with conveyor, tool and safety states visible to the operator.
04 System architecture
Software to motion.
Motion to process.
A complete control stack connects the operator interface to coordinated axes, machine services and the safety layer.

05 Engineering principles
Specify around the machine.
Final performance is established during engineering and commissioning. Radonix configures the controller around the real mechanics, drives, tooling, process equipment and safety system.
Cold knife cutting suits fabrics, leather, foam and other heat-sensitive sheet materials.
Conveyor profiles support indexed handling for continuous material.
Cut, mark, crease, perforate or sew within a configured machine workflow.
Camera registration can align printed or patterned work when the machine is equipped for it.
06 Technical FAQ
Questions before specification.
01Which materials can a Radonix knife cutter process?
Typical applications include fabric, leather, vinyl, foam, gasket, cardboard and technical textiles. The correct knife and cutting parameters depend on thickness and material construction.
02What is the benefit of cold knife cutting?
Knife cutting does not create a heat-affected zone, helping avoid burnt or melted edges on compatible flexible materials.
03Can Radonix control a conveyor cutting table?
Yes. Conveyor indexing, vacuum zones and production sequencing can be integrated for continuous roll-material workflows.
04Does Radonix support automated sewing?
Yes. XY, XYR and XYRS control profiles can be configured for programmable sewing machines, subject to the machine mechanics and auxiliary equipment.
