CONTROLLER PRODUCT EVOLUTION

Past · Present · Future

Radonix CNC controller evolution from PC Plus to PC Smart and PC-Pro LAN, with the pre-release Radonix LEGO platform
Radonix controller development from the PC+ generation through current PC Smart and PC-Pro LAN hardware to the pre-release modular LEGO architecture.

THE ENGINEERING ARC

A focused path from machine building to CNC control systems.

Radonix grew through hands-on machine development: first building CNC machines, then concentrating on motion-control electronics, PC-based CNC software and purpose-built interfaces. The result is a controller family for machine builders, OEMs, integrators and retrofit projects across multiple industries.
