One-line value prop: Import a 2D DXF profile, preview the finished spindle in 3D, and machine it on an X–Z lathe with A-axis rotation — with forward, backward, or bi-directional loading.
Who uses it: Furniture & stair manufacturers, architectural millwork shops, custom wood-turners, prototyping labs, makerspaces, and vocational/edu programs.
Works with: XZA lathes (X, Z linear + A rotary), stepper or servo drives, VFD spindle control, manual/pneumatic tailstock, single-tool or router-based cutting heads.
Compatible controllers: PC-SMART 4A / PC-SMART 3AS / PC-PRO LAN 4A
Supported files: DXF and standard G-code (e.g., ArtCAM / PowerMill posts)
X–Z carriage with A-axis workpiece rotation.
Homing routines, soft limits, SafeZ retracts, and configurable work envelope.
Forward, backward, or both-direction loading for efficient rough/finish strategies.
High-rate step/dir motion with look-ahead planner.
I/O mapping for spindle on/off, analog 0–10 V RPM, tailstock clamp, guards, beacons, and full E-stop chain.
Safety interlocks: door/guard, over-travel, emergency, spindle/air pressure checks.
Direct DXF execution (no external post); automatic revolve to 3D preview.
Set Z step-down, pass count, cut direction (FWD/BWD/Both), feed (mm/s), and spindle RPM.
Dry-run (spindle off), single-block, and restart from line for power-loss recovery.
Quick positions P1/P2, program origin tools, and stock alignment helpers.
Job logging: cycle time, path length, passes, pauses/restarts, operator notes.
DXF-to-turning with true 3D result preview
Multi-pass roughing/finishing with programmable step-down
Forward / backward / both-direction machining modes
VFD RPM control, SafeZ retracts, and dry-run verification
Resume from pause & restart from any line
Home X, Z, A; set SafeZ and P1/P2.
Load DXF, review auto-revolved 3D preview.
Enter step-down, pass count, direction, feed, and RPM.
Dry-run to confirm limits and clearance; adjust if needed.
Run and monitor; pause for inspection or chip clearance.
If interrupted, restart from the last executed line; save report & notes.
Direct DXF ExecutionSeamlessly load and execute DXF files without the need for G-code conversion — streamlining your workflow and reducing setup time.
Smart Component & Path ManagementSelect specific parts from complex drawings and customize cutting order with intuitive control over toolpath sequencing.
Interactive On-Screen EditingScale, rotate, and mirror parts directly within the interface — with live toolpath previews to ensure precision.
Flexible Part PlacementManually drag and drop parts onto your material sheet to accommodate irregular shapes, pre-cut stock, or remnant reuse.
Advanced Pause ControlsSet up to three independent pause points — before the cut, during the cut, and after the cut — for manual checks or operational adjustments.
Reverse Cutting ModeExecute toolpaths in reverse to minimize material warping or adjust final exit points based on design needs.
Display of the final workpiece in three dimensions.Ability to select the loading direction in the forward, backward, or both directions.
