XYZ Simple Drill
  • 3-Axis
  • Used in Cutting CNC machines

Introduction

One-line value prop: Load a DXF, the software finds your holes, and the machine runs fast, accurate drill / peck / dwell cycles with guided manual tool changes and safe recovery.

Who uses it: Fabricators, HVAC & ducting, signage, general metalwork.
Works with: 3-axis gantry or table machines with a spindle/VFD (single tool, manual change).
Compatible controllers: PC-SMART 4A / PC-SMART 3AS / PC-PRO LAN 4A

Supported files: DXF and standard G-code (e.g., ArtCAM / PowerMill posts)

Machine & Kinematics

  • 3-axis contouring (X, Y, Z) with homing and soft limits; work offsets (G54–G59).

  • Z executes drill/peck/dwell cycles with clean retracts to SafeZ.

  • Optional A-axis indexing (bolt circles on turned parts) if fitted.

Control & I/O

  • Spindle ON/OFF + RPM (VFD), coolant/mist/air, clamps/fixtures, beacons, guards, Emergency.

  • Inputs for home/limits, optional Z tool-setter, door/guard, vacuum/air-OK.

  • Operator aids: Feed/Speed overrides, Pause/Resume, Single-step, Restart from line (power-loss recovery).

Software & Workflow

  • DXF-first: automatic hole recognition (circles/slots) → size groups → hit list.

  • Cycles: simple drill, peck drill (depth/step/clear), dwell (ms), counterbore/countersink depths.

  • Pattern tools: array, grid, bolt circle, along polyline; per-group feeds/RPM.

  • Clamp-aware planning with keep-out zones, inner→outer order, safe pauses for reposition.

  • 3D preview of Z moves; Floor (max depth) to protect table/fixtures.

  • Job reports: hole count, travel distance, cycle time, pauses/alarms, operator notes.

Key Capabilities (at a glance)

  • DXF import with auto hole detection & sizing

  • Drill / Peck / Dwell cycles with SafeZ retracts

  • Per-group feeds/RPM, pattern generators (grid/array/bolt circle)

  • Clamp keep-outs, inner→outer sequencing, dry-run (spindle off)

  • Z tool-setter support for accurate depths (optional)

  • Restart from last G-code line after stop or power cut

  • Floor depth limit, soft limits, full safety interlocks

Standard Workflow

  1. Home X/Y/Z; set work offset (G54).

  2. Open DXF → holes are recognized and grouped by size.

  3. Choose cycle (Drill/Peck/Dwell), set depths/steps, per-group feeds & RPM.

  4. Dry-run (spindle off) to verify order, keep-outs, and SafeZ.

  5. Run. At tool change prompts: retract → stop spindle → change tool → (optional) probe ZResume.

  6. If interrupted, use Restart from line; then review and save the report.

Key Features of Radonix CNC Software

🔹 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.
