DESCRIPTION

The XYZA Router interface serves as an advanced user interface for four-axis CNC machines. In these machines, the X, Y, and Z axes are used for three-dimensional movements, while the fourth axis, called the rotary axis (or axis A), adds rotational movement.

Additionally, the interface allows for control of digital outputs during G-code execution via M-codes. Complementary features, such as connecting an Xbox controller and keyboard as remote controllers, automatic parking position adjustment, defining up to six reference points for the start of the workpiece, and easy and precise control of the machine, facilitate operation for users. All inputs and outputs are pre-configured by default, eliminating the need for additional programming. The interface is also customizable in appearance to suit industrial needs and the branding of CNC machine manufacturers.

Introduction

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)

Machine & Kinematics

  • 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.

Control & I/O

  • 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.

Software & Workflow

  • 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).

Key Capabilities
(at a glance)

Key Capabilities(at a glance)

  • Cylindrical wrapping of DXF/G-code by diameter

  • Index or continuous A-axis machining

  • Tool comp, lead-in/out, ramp/helix, corner slow-down

  • Z touch-off & optional A-zero macros

  • Safe restart from last line and job reporting

Standard Workflow

  1. Home machine; clamp part; set diameter (or measure).

  2. Touch-off Z and set A-zero (mark/key).

  3. Load DXF/G-code; choose Wrap or Index; apply tool/entry settings.

  4. Simulate with rotary preview; verify limits and clearances.

  5. Run job; monitor clamps and beacons; use Pause for checks if needed.

  6. Resume or Restart from last line after any interruption; save job 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.
