Hybrid Machine with Open Architecture Controller

개방형 CNC를 응용한 하이브리드 머신 개발

Hybrid machine is based on hardware technologies of machine tool and software technologies of open architecture controller. In machining technology, combination technology of turning, milling, and grinding and in machining energy technology. combination of mechanical, electrical, and chemical technology are developed. This paper describes hybrid machine technology for combination of machining, on-machine measurement, on-machine CAM, and on-machine remote monitoring and control in open architecture controller environment. For on-machine measurement, non-contact measurement technology based on CAD information is developed. For on-machine CAM, interactive CAM program for automatic NC program generation and tool path simulation is developed. For generation on-machine remote monitoring and control, suitable interface method between web program and CNC is proposed. The developed hybrid machine technology is implemented in 3 axes milling machine for evaluation of operablity.
