Process-appropriate cutting
Knife cutting is suited to compatible flexible materials that require a mechanical cut without a heat-affected edge.
Textile & flexible-material CNC control
Application-specific CNC control for tangential knife cutters, conveyor cutting tables and programmable sewing machines. Radonix brings motion, job preparation, machine I/O and operator recovery into one production workflow.
Cutting and sewing control01 Application overview
Radonix coordinates table motion, tangential tool orientation, vacuum or clamps, conveyor indexing and machine I/O. Dedicated XY, XYR and XYRS profiles extend the same application-led approach to programmable sewing machines.
Knife cutting is suited to compatible flexible materials that require a mechanical cut without a heat-affected edge.
Coordinate vacuum zones, clamps or conveyor indexing according to the machine and production method.
Configure compatible knife and auxiliary-tool functions around the fitted mechanics, actuators and I/O.
02 Control profiles
Choose an application profile for tangential knife cutting, roll-fed production or programmable sewing, then configure it around the real machine.
XYC KnifeCoordinate XY table motion with C-axis knife orientation for accurate 2D contour cutting.
XYC ConveyorCoordinate cutting motion, vacuum zones and conveyor indexing for repeatable roll-fed production.
XYC Multi-ToolSequence compatible cutting and auxiliary tools, such as marking, creasing or perforating, within one engineered workflow.
XY SewingProgram repeatable two-axis stitch paths with fixture and sewing-head I/O configured around the machine.
XYR / XYRS SewingExtended three- and four-axis sewing profiles coordinate XY motion with additional head or auxiliary axes.
Process / workflow03 Operator workflow
Keep geometry, machine states and operator decisions visible from job preparation through cutting or sewing.
Load the approved geometry, confirm scale and orientation, and arrange the job for the available material or fixture.
Select the configured cutting or sewing process and verify offsets, speeds and machine-specific settings.
Secure and align the material using the vacuum, clamps, fixture or registration equipment fitted to the machine.
Preview or dry-run where appropriate, then execute with motion, process I/O and safety states visible to the operator.
04 System architecture
A complete control stack connects the operator interface to coordinated axes, machine services and the safety layer.
Job preparation, process settings and production visibility.
Coordinated axes, application logic and material-handling control.
Tooling, motion hardware, material handling and safety equipment.
05 Engineering principles
Final performance is established during engineering and commissioning. Radonix configures the controller around the real mechanics, drives, tooling, process equipment and safety system.
Controller and interface selection follow the real axes, drives, tooling, I/O and production requirements.
Operators can review the job, machine state and configured process controls from one interface.
Pause, resume and restart functions are configured to support safe recovery on the finished machine.
Vacuum, clamps, conveyors, sensors and optional registration can be integrated when the machine is equipped for them.
06 Technical FAQ
Typical applications include fabric, leather, vinyl, foam, gasket, cardboard and technical textiles. The correct knife and cutting parameters depend on thickness and material construction.
Knife cutting does not create a heat-affected zone, helping avoid burnt or melted edges on compatible flexible materials.
Yes. Conveyor indexing, vacuum zones and production sequencing can be integrated for continuous roll-material workflows.
Yes. XY, XYR and XYRS control profiles can be configured for programmable sewing machines, subject to the machine mechanics and auxiliary equipment.
