One-line value prop: Precise cylindrical machining and engraving with diameter-aware wrapping, index/continuous A-axis control, and safe restart.
Who uses it: Furniture & decor shops, mold & pattern makers, sign/ornament producers, small-parts machining, tube engraving/marking.
Works with: 4-axis routers/engravers with headstock + tailstock (chuck/collet/faceplate), indexers, or direct-drive rotary tables.
Compatible controllers: PC-SMART 4A / PC-PRO LAN 4A
Supported files: standard G-code (e.g., ArtCAM / PowerMill posts)
X-Y gantry motion with Z vertical and A-axis rotary (continuous or index).
Wrap (cylindrical) mode: unwraps flat DXF/G-code around a set diameter or measured circumference.
Index mode: step A to programmed angles for multi-face machining.
Programmable work envelope, homing, and soft limits for all axes.
Headstock/tailstock I/O (chuck clamp, tailstock lock) and optional steady-rest.
High-rate step/dir with look-ahead for smooth A-axis blends.
Discrete I/O mapping for spindle/tool ON/OFF, chuck clamp, tailstock, beacons, and full E-stop chain.
Probing/Touch-off: Z tool setter and A-zero (keyway/mark) macros.
Feed options: mm/min or feed per revolution (FPR) where supported.
Import DXF/G-code; choose Wrap or Index strategy; enter/confirm part diameter.
Automatic tool radius compensation/offset; lead-in/out and ramp/helix entries.
Corner smoothing and arc handling to maintain constant surface speed.
Simulation with rotary preview and collision/limit checks before running.
Resume from last G-code line with safe re-entry (spindle, clamp, SafeZ verified).

Home machine; clamp part; set diameter (or measure).
Touch-off Z and set A-zero (mark/key).
Load DXF/G-code; choose Wrap or Index; apply tool/entry settings.
Simulate with rotary preview; verify limits and clearances.
Run job; monitor clamps and beacons; use Pause for checks if needed.
Resume or Restart from last line after any interruption; save job report.
Coordinate XYZ + up to three rotary axes (A/B/C) across wood, stone, milling, mold-making, and dental machines—up to 6 simultaneous axes.
Keeps the tool tip exactly on the programmed path during 5-axis rotations—no re-posting when you change head lengths or pivots.
Run spindles synchronously or sequentially with per-spindle ON/OFF, RPM, offsets, and tool numbers.
Works with linear, rotary/carousel, and jack magazines—full clamp/unclamp sequencing, interlocks, tool table, and safe recovery.
Touch-setter cycles capture tool length (and optional diameter) for accurate depths and wear compensation after each change.
Preview the job in true 3D with live A/B/C angles to verify reach, orientation, and motion before cutting.
Enforces a maximum Z penetration so the tool never cuts past the programmed floor—protects the table, fixtures, and laminated stacks.
