01
Interface profile
Introduction
With CAM-Pro and compatible Radonix controller hardware, the XYZABC CNC controller interface supports simultaneous five- and six-axis RTCP routing with engineered ATC and probing.
- Who uses it
- Mold & pattern shops, furniture/stone ateliers, composite & boat builders, aerospace/automotive prototyping.
- Works with
- Gantry/bridge routers using X, Y, Z linear plus A/B/C rotary axes (3+2 positioning or full 5-axis/6-axis simultaneous).
- Compatible controllers
- PC Smart 6APC-Pro LAN 6A
- Supported files
- Important
- Includes RTCP (Rotation Tool Center Point) so programs follow the tool tip regardless of head/table motion.

Machine architecture
Machine & Kinematics
Machine & Kinematics
Axes: X, Y, Z + A/B/C rotary (head, table, trunnion, or nutating head layouts).
RTCP / Tool-Center Programming with kinematic transforms, singularity and limit handling.
3+2 indexed machining, 5-axis simultaneous, or full 6-axis where available.
Automatic homing, soft limits, Safe-Z park, programmable machine limits.
Spindle control (rpm, orient), coolant/mist/air, vacuum table, dust shoe, aux I/O.
Control & I/O
High look-ahead planner with junction control for smooth freeform surfaces.
ATC: linear/carousel/rack; tool table (length/diameter/wear), broken-tool check.
Probing: tool Z-setter (and optional diameter) + workpiece probing (plane/edge/boss/3-point).
M-codes for vacuum zones, clamps, dust shoe, air-blast/mist/coolant, beacons, doors, E-stop chain.
Recovery: resume from last G-code line after stop/power loss with safe re-entry checks.

Software workflow
Software & Workflow
- 013D preview
Import G-code (or DXF for 2.5D), review the 3D preview and tool list.
- 02Step 2
Home axes, set work offset(s), probe tool length/diameter if applicable.
- 03A/B/C
Choose machining mode (3+2 or 5-axis), verify A/B/C limits and RTCP on.
- 04dry-run/single-block
Run dry-run/single-block to confirm path, clamps, and clears.
- 05Step 5
Start production; ATC manages tool changes, spindle/coolant, and auxiliaries.
- 06resume from last line
If interrupted, resume from last line; export run report for traceability.

Interface capabilities
Key Features of Radonix CNC Software
Software & Workflow
- Import DXF/G-code, preview six-axis router toolpaths and apply configured tool-radius and tool-length offsets.
- Configure routing entries, ramp and helix moves, rotary-axis transitions and safe retracts.
- Corner smoothing and arc handling to maintain cut speed and edge quality.
- Priority ordering (inner → outer) and automatic pause points for clamp moves or checks.
- Job Queue & Repeat for batches; simulation / dry-run before cutting.
- Run reports: cycle time, path length, tool changes, pauses and restarts; operator notes are saved with the job.
Key Capabilities (at a glance)
XYZ + A/B/C with RTCP, 3+2 & 5-axis/6-axis simultaneous
ATC with tool table & tool/work probing
Swarf/contour cutting, 5-axis drilling, edge-trim
Dry-run, single-block, restart from last line
3D preview with holder view & limit checks
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.
