Initialization
Prepares the router before a job starts.
Control logic
Coordinating X, Y, and Z
The driver receives the coordinates generated in the Design Software and turns them into machine movement. The X and Y axes position the cutting path over the work area, while the Z axis raises or lowers the tool so it can cut, travel, or return to a safe position.
Manual control is important before any automatic run. It lets the operator test each motor, check the direction of movement, align the machine with the material, and confirm that the tool can move without touching the workpiece unexpectedly.
Once the setup is ready, the driver follows the saved sequence and keeps the process visible through the interface: project loading, initialization, sensor state, axis position, and cut preview.
Driver responsibilities
What the driver manages
Manual control
Moves each axis directly for testing, positioning, and material alignment.
Sensor reading
Uses sensor states to protect the mechanism and avoid unsafe movement.
Cut execution
Transforms stored coordinates into step-by-step machine motion.
Path preview
Shows the route before running the cutting process.
Axis feedback
Keeps the operator aware of X, Y, and Z movement during setup.
Project loading
Reads the saved design data and prepares it for machine control.
Process control
Groups start, pause, stop, and reset actions in the control workflow.
Screens
Driver interface and references
Control screen
Driver controls for the cutting process.
Manual control
Direct movement controls for setup.
Sensors
Sensor references used by the control system.
Open project
Loading the project data before machine control.
Axis panel
Controls and state references for machine axes.
Cut preview
Visual reference for the process before execution.
Initialization
Preparing the router before movement starts.
X/Y motor control
Motor control reference for horizontal movement.
Z axis
Tool up/down movement reference.
