Load five tools, hit start, and let the job run with the new NAX5 automatic tool changer that keeps every tool zeroed and ready.

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SainSmart, a decade-long leader in open hardware and desktop manufacturing, unveils the Genmitsu PRONAX series (the Spark and Forge), the brand’s first CNC platform engineered around automatic tool changing. Built for makers and small businesses who have outgrown single-tool routers, PRONAX brings multi-tool job planning and repeatable, production-grade output to the desktop CNC category.

For years, the Genmitsu name has been synonymous with accessible manufacturing. PRONAX builds on this legacy, answering the call of shops that have grown with the brand and now need a larger working platform, closed-loop reliability, and the ability to run multiple tools in a single job without stopping to swap bits by hand.

From Single-Tool Router to Production Platform
PRONAX is not simply a larger machine. It is the next logical step in the Genmitsu evolution, built for shops that have outgrown entry-level routers and need a platform that can plan multi-tool jobs, hold tolerance across a full day of batch production, and do so without the price tag of an industrial machine.

Two Machines, One Production-Ready Platform
PRONAX launches with two working-area options, both built on the same closed-loop motion system and control architecture:

PRONAX Spark: 600 × 900 × 118 mm working area (approx. 23.6 × 35.4 × 4.6 in ), a larger platform for repeatable work, multi-tool job planning, and more professional day-to-day output.PRONAX Forge: 800 × 800 × 118 mm working area (approx. 31.5 × 31.5 × 4.6 in), built for small businesses that need an even larger platform and a more scalable production workflow.2.2kW air-cooled spindle: 0–18,000 RPM, VFD-controlled, for consistent cuts across a range of materials.  Closed-loop NEMA24 motors (3.5 N•m) paired with HG20/HG15 linear rails and ball screws on all axes to hold accuracy through long, aggressive runs.Shop-ready safety: XYZ limit switches, emergency stop, and a Z-probe for fast, repeatable tool setting.

NAX5: Every Tool, Already Zeroed
At the center of the PRONAX platform is the NAX5 Automatic Tool Changer, a 5-slot system available as an integrated upgrade on both machines.

5-slot tool storage with per-slot tool recognition and visual status indicators, features SainSmart notes that most rack-style ATC systems at this price point do not offer.A Z-axis that lifts to clear neighboring tools, with a configurable Z-lift height that accommodates longer tools.A validated, closed ecosystem: the NAX5 communicates with the PRONAX control box over RS-485 and runs on PRONAX-specific firmware for tool-change sequencing, length compensation, and slot identification. As a result, it is designed to work exclusively with PRONAX machines rather than as a generic, cross-compatible add-on.An ATC-ready workflow that lets shops plan roughing, profiling, and finishing passes in a single uninterrupted run, cutting out the manual stops that slow down batch production.

Power to Create, Ready to Scale
The 2.2kW spindle on every PRONAX machine allows for deeper, more confident passes across wood, composites, and soft metals, providing enough headroom for signage, cabinet components, fixtures, templates, molds, and custom production parts. Combined with the NAX5 tool changer, PRONAX is designed to carry small shops from one-off projects to genuine batch-production throughput.

GRBL-Powered, Shop-Ready
True to the SainSmart philosophy of “making execution easy,” PRONAX machines run on GRBL 1.1f through the included NAX control box, staying compatible with Candle, Easel, UGS, and any GRBL-based software, with support for offline control. Each machine ships with a cutter set (end mills, V-bit), ER20 collets, a Z-probe, clamping plates, cables, documentation, and a tool kit, giving shops everything they need to get cutting on day one.

About SainSmart
From the first spark of an idea to the final product, SainSmart has been the trusted partner for makers, tinkerers, and DIY enthusiasts for over 10 years. As a pioneer in the desktop CNC space, SainSmart continues to expand the Genmitsu family, the industry’s most versatile line of CNC machines, empowering users to turn daydreams into tangible reality.

Agentic Runtime Control gives AI agents intent-bound, task-scoped access only when work requires it, controls what they can do at runtime, and removes access when the task is complete 

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Britive, the platform making standing privilege obsolete for agentic AI, non-human, and human identities, today introduced Britive ARC™ (Agentic Runtime Control), a new approach to securing AI agents as they move from assistants that answer questions to virtual workers that take action inside enterprise systems. 

Enterprises are building a new kind of workforce. Alongside teams of people, employees increasingly have virtual teams of AI agents that query databases, call APIs, change infrastructure, and act on problems surfaced by other agents. Britive ARC™ was shaped around the real-world requirements of enterprise customers already working through how to securely move AI agents into production. Like human workers, those agents need authority to perform different jobs. Unlike human workers, they should not need privileged access sitting idle between tasks. 

That creates a fundamental question: How do you give an AI agent enough authority to do its job without giving it privilege it can keep, misuse, or expose? 

Britive ARC™ answers that question by tying access to the work being performed. Each access grant is evaluated in context, including the identity behind it, the task, and the scope required. When authorized, Britive provides only the access needed, controls how it can be used while the work runs, and removes it when the task is complete. 

“One of the biggest barriers to moving agentic AI into production is knowing how to secure it,” said Chris Rasco, Head of AI/ML Platforms, Atlanta-based Financial Services Company. “Britive’s approach addresses a foundational part of that problem: giving agents only the access they need for the task, when they need it, without leaving standing access behind. Bringing agent access into the same platform used to manage human and non-human access provides the kind of foundation enterprises need to move from experimentation into production with confidence.” 

A new access model for a new workforce 

Traditional access models were built around people and predictable machine identities. AI agents are different: they perform specific tasks on behalf of people, services, or other agents, at machine speed. Standing privilege was risky for humans. For autonomous agents, it’s reckless. 

Britive ARC™ controls the critical security moments of an agent transaction through a continuous model: verify, assess, authorize, observe, and revoke.  

Britive verifies the agent and the identity it acts for where applicable, evaluates the intent and the prompt context, provides only the required access, observes the activity while it runs, and removes access when it is no longer authorized or needed. 

Throughout the transaction, Britive captures evidence of the identities, requests, authorization decisions, privileges, actions, and outcomes involved. For agent tool calls, that can include the prompt, tool, arguments, and, where supplied, the agent’s stated intent. 

“Most of the industry is focused on how to protect the credential an AI agent holds. We think that starts with the wrong assumption,” said Art Poghosyan, CEO and co-founder of Britive. “The better question is why an agent should have privileged access to keep at all. Britive ARC™ ties privilege to the work being authorized. It can appear when the task requires it, remain under control while the work happens, and disappear when the work is done.” 

Privilege is temporary. Control is continuous. Proof is captured throughout. 

Zero standing privilege, with control after access 

Britive ARC™ can elevate an agent’s permissions directly inside the target system without issuing the agent a privileged credential to hold. For systems that require credentials, Britive can create and inject them at runtime and revoke them when the task ends. 

“Every AI agent is another identity with access to your most critical systems and data. If we wouldn’t accept standing privileges for our engineers, we shouldn’t accept them for agents,” said Chetan Jha, Head of Identity and Data Security at Marqeta. “What’s compelling about Britive ARC™ is that access can be created for the task, scoped to what the agent actually needs, and removed when the work is done.” 

Control also continues after access is granted. Through the Britive MCP Gateway, agent tool calls are evaluated against centralized policy at runtime before unauthorized actions are executed on downstream systems. Where Britive sits in the connection path to the resource, enforcement can extend to individual SSH commands and SQL statements. An agent authorized to read from a database, for example, can still be stopped from performing an unauthorized destructive action. 

Authorization can also change while work is underway. Shared Signals Framework events, including CAEP and RISC signals, can trigger additional enforcement or revoke active session as conditions change. 

One platform for the people and agents doing the work 

AI agents act for people, interact with machine identities, and reach systems already governed by enterprise access policies. Britive ARC™ brings agentic AI into the same runtime policy and access enforcement platform used for human and non-human identities across hybrid, multi-cloud, SaaS, database, server, and on-premises environments. 

When an agent acts on behalf of a person, Britive can keep the agent’s authority at or below that person’s authority and narrow it further to the privileges permitted for that agent, for a specific task, resource, or content. The delegating identity and the agent remain connected throughout the transaction and audit record. 

That same modern, runtime-first architecture is also reflected in Britive’s selection by AWS for inclusion in AWS Security Hub Extended, reinforcing Britive’s Zero Standing Privileges approach and the architecture behind Britive ARC™. 

Availability 

Britive ARC™ is available today on the Britive platform, with capabilities spanning AI agent discovery and governance, runtime tool-call authorization through the Britive MCP Gateway, runtime elevation, access enforcement, on-behalf-of delegation, and signal-driven revocation.

About Britive 

Britive is the runtime authorization platform for every identity that runs the modern enterprise: AI agents, non-human identities, and people. Instead of managing standing accounts and long-lived credentials, Britive creates privilege at the moment an authorized action requires it and removes it when the work is done, across clouds, SaaS applications, databases, servers, and systems that still depend on traditional credentials. One policy model, one audit trail, and one platform govern every identity type, with no endpoint software to deploy.  

With Britive ARC™, Agentic Runtime Control, the same standard now extends to AI agents: access checked out for the task, enforced down to the individual command, and gone when the task ends. Nothing is left standing. Learn more at britive.com
