Radonix X4 Expander

Radonix X4 is an axis-expander board that replicates one controller axis into four synchronized motor channels. It’s purpose-built for gold & jewelry CNC and any machine that needs multiple motors to follow the same axis command (e.g., dual-X, multi-Z heads, mirrored gantries).

X4 - Expander Module

The Radonix X4 Expanderis a specialized board designed to replicate the pulse and direction signals of a single axis into up to four identical outputs. By distributing these signals simultaneously to multiple motor drivers, it allows you to operate multiple motors on the same axis in perfect synchronization.
