| Abstract | Rapidly increasing CNC machine user demands on the portability, extendibility, scalability,
exchangeability and interoperability of the CNC controller, which is an origin of the Open
Architecture Concept (OAC). There are many CNC controller manufacturers that respond
to this demand. They propose the modern CNC controller system based on this concept.
Unfortunately, the degree of openness of most modern CNC controller is. not completely
open. It still has some proprietary hardware components. Nevertheless, this is a great sign
that the CNC controller manufacturer acknowledges the Open Architecture Concept.
To be completely open by means of the Open Architecture Concept, the CNC controller
manufacturer must renovate their CNC controller system to be the software-based CNC
controller system. With the software-based CNC controller, the machine is independent
from any proprietary hardware components.
The main objective of this study is to develop and integrate the OpenCNC software based
on an alternative OAC methodology for ARD-TB400, three-axis open architecture based
milling prototype machine. This study also has the experiment of the SERVO control of
ARD-TB400 by using OpenCNC. |
