RichAuto A18 Four-Axis Rotary DSP Controller

Known model facts#

Product overview#

RichAuto A18 is the A1X series four-axis controller for rotary carving, cylinder work, prism cutting, polyhedral processing, Buddha statues, stair columns, sofa legs, table legs, and furniture parts where a fourth rotary axis is required. The model-level A18 product information confirms four-axis coordinated motion mode, A/C code formats, special M code control, user-definable I/O interfaces, intelligent processing memory, 8 breakpoint positions, 9 workpiece coordinates, mobile/fixed calibration, free rotary axis marking (A/B/C), and the ability to set the fourth axis as normal or rotary. A18 supports special processing requirements including array work, mill plane, zoom, and part work, with enhanced anti-interference performance validated through multiple CE tests. A18E and A18S handle-surface language variants share the same system operation.
