Interface profile

Introduction

With CAM-Pro and compatible Radonix controller hardware, the XZ CNC controller interface supports scan-to-path profiling and controlled restoration of diamond-cut alloy wheels.

Who uses it
Alloy wheel refurbishment shops · automotive dealerships & service centers · tire retailers · collision/body repair shops · wheel
Works with
X-Z ring lathes or repair rigs with rotating spindle and linear X/Z slides (grinding/diamond dressing tool).

Machine architecture

Machine & Kinematics

2-Axis Jewelry CNC Controller for Diamond-Cut Wheel Repair machine architecture

Machine & Kinematics

  • X–Z slides around a rotating wheel/spindle; configurable work envelope, homing and soft limits for repeatable setups.

  • Supports surface detector/probe for automatic edge finding and profile scan.

  • Fast origin tools (Home, X0, Z0) and per-axis jog (X±, Z±) for quick alignment.

Control & I/O

  • Spindle start/stop with speed ramp (Start/End RPM); on-screen Speed 100% override.

  • Inputs for SurfaceDetector, Home pins (X,Z), limits, door/guard, and E-stop.

  • Outputs for coolant/air as needed; Run / Pause / Stop with safe resume.

Interface capabilities

Key Features of Radonix CNC Software

Software & Workflow

  • Scan mode: touch off the wheel, press Scan—the interface samples the rim/profile at a set ScanVelocity, applies SensorDisplace offset, and builds a repair path automatically.

  • DXF mode: load a DXF ring/profile; preview on the grid and apply pass parameters.

  • Multi-pass repair with Depth & DepthStep (e.g., 0.05 mm), controlled Feed, optional Overlap, and PenUp retracts at transitions.

  • Smoothing and Junction factors trim chatter at corners; per-axis V (mm/s) and L (mm) steps for tuning.

  • Live Absolute/Relative readouts, feed override, and Spindle panel for RPM control.

Key Capabilities (at a glance)

  • Scan-to-path wheel repair (no CAD required)

  • DXF profile import with grid preview

  • Multi-pass depth control (Depth/DepthStep)

  • Smoothing, junction tuning, and overlap control

  • Spindle speed ramp (Start/End) with override

  • Surface detector/probe offset (SensorDisplace)

  • Safe Pause/Resume, job logs, and alarms
