XYZABC Router + TC
  • 6-Axis
  • Used in Cutting CNC machines

Introduction

One-line value prop: True 5/6-axis RTCP machining for molds, wood/stone carving, and composite trimming—with automatic tool change 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 6A 6 / PC-PRO LAN 6A

Supported files: Multi-axis G-code from common CAM posts (PowerMill, Fusion 360, Mastercam, etc.) and 2.5D DXF.

Important: Includes RTCP (Rotation Tool Center Point) so programs follow the tool tip regardless of head/table motion.

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

  • Import DXF/G-code, preview toolpaths, and apply kerf/offset automatically.
  • Lead-in/lead-out styles (arc, radial, tangential), pierce dwell, and height retract macros.
  • 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, cut length, pierces, pauses/restarts; operator notes 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

Standard Workflow

  1. Import G-code (or DXF for 2.5D), review the 3D preview and tool list.

  2. Home axes, set work offset(s), probe tool length/diameter if applicable.

  3. Choose machining mode (3+2 or 5-axis), verify A/B/C limits and RTCP on.

  4. Run dry-run/single-block to confirm path, clamps, and clears.

  5. Start production; ATC manages tool changes, spindle/coolant, and auxiliaries.

  6. If interrupted, resume from last line; export run report for traceability.

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.
