Conventional tool-paths for CNC (computer numerical controlled) machine tools or NC positioning systems are mainly composed of linear motion segments, or so called the G1 commands. Interpolating along linear tool-paths exhibits serious limitations in terms of achieving the desired part geometry and productivity in high-speed machining. Velocity and acceleration discontinuities occur at the junction points of consecutive segments. In order to generate smooth and continuous feed motion, a kinematic corner smoothing algorithm is proposed in this paper, which plans smooth acceleration and jerk profiles around the segment junction to realize continuous velocity transition between consecutive linear segments. The proposed corner-smoothing algorithm eliminates the need for geometry based corner-blending techniques and presents a computationally efficient interpolation scheme. The cornering error is controlled analytically allowing the end-user to control the cornering tolerance. Drive’s acceleration and the jerk limits are fully utilized to minimize overall cornering duration. This delivers a time optimal cornering motion within user specified cornering error tolerances. Simulation studies are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed high-speed cornering scheme.

Nowadays, there is a big demand on using small sized CNC machine tools, which have low price tag, wide range of implementations, low manufacturing costs and can be used for educational purposes. These machines can achieve casual manufacturing routines, like milling and drilling in applications, where there is no need for high speed performances and super quality of products. In this work, we proposed a model of CNC for these machines and analysed its components and efficiency. The model consists of three main layers: CNC system (application layer), ARM based microcomputer as CAN master and controller (connecting layer) and Servo-Drive Step Motors (actuating layer).

The frequency response function (FRF) of a CNC machine tool is composed of tool/toolholder/spindle dynamics, and plays an important role in determining the stability of high speed machining processes. This paper details the design, development and operational verification of a non-contacting, controllable, electromechanical actuator (EMA) for measuring the FRFs of tools mounted in CNC milling machines. Although standard modal testing methods are available and provide similarly accurate results, these test procedures are difficult to perform in machine shop environments and can require expensive equipment. The EMA developed as part of this research extends the capabilities of the NIST “best speeds device” to provide controllable, non-contacting excitation for modal tests on machine tools. This EMA device offers the advantages of being accurate, easy to use, and applicable to a wide variety of tools and operating conditions.

To overcome some shortcomings of the linear Acc/Dec approach and the traditional S-curve Acc/Dec method, a novel velocity planning approach is proposed for CNC machine tools in this paper. The velocity planning model based on moving average technology is structured. The presented approach is used to make velocity planning for the CNC system. Comparing with the linear Acc/Dec algorithm, the presented method greatly improves motional smoothness of the linear Acc/Dec approach and reduces the complexity of the traditional S-curve Acc/Dec algorithm, which is more suitable for high-speed and high-precision CNC machine tools. The proposed approach is tested by simulation and experimentation. Simulation and experimental results have shown that the proposed method can significantly improve the motional smoothness and consumes less resource and shortens processing time for the CNC system.
