Engraving and Milling Machine Design Based on Open CNC System

Abstract

In view of application requirements, control axes, the development cycle and other factors of open CNC machine tools, we consider the modular as the guiding ideology and propose a design method of three-dimensional engraving and milling machine based on open CNC system. In this paper we make a detailed design for mechanism structure and control system. Experiments show that this machine has milling and engraving capabilities, can process metal and non-metallic parts, which is a high efficiency, multi-function numerical control equipment.

“…The CNC engraving milling (CNC-EMM) process has also been used by some researchers for various purposes [13][14][15][16][17]. An open-architecture numerical control of motion and PLC for CNC-EMM was proposed by Lian et al [13] to achieve high performance at high speed with greater precision.…”

“…An open-architecture numerical control of motion and PLC for CNC-EMM was proposed by Lian et al [13] to achieve high performance at high speed with greater precision. In another important work, a design strategy was made to develop a three-dimensional open-system-based CNC engraving milling machine for manufacturing parts from metallic and non-metallic materials [14]. The experiments showed that the developed machine could produce parts of superior quality with a high degree of efficiency.…”
