Manufacturing Embedded Control Systems – a New Approach

Abstract

CAM software system is processing CAD model building the source code through G-code specification. This ISO-G code is describing the trajectory to be reached by tool, while working parameters are set by the user. After this step is completed, the code is processed by a interpreters, line by line, and using an interpolator, it outputs trajectory variables for the current source code line. Afterwards, motors are controlled to reach, point by point, the programmed trajectory. The idea of the proposed approach is represented by a embedded control system, in order to minimize programming effort, and secondly the control is to be optimized, meaning that, in order to meet a restriction set, process productivity to be maximized and the cost minimized.
