Control System for Digital Forming Machine of Lost Foam Based on PMAC

Article Preview

Abstract:

Control system is the key factor for performance of digital forming machine. To meet different needs, an open NC system structure is proposed based on PMAC. Selection of servo motor is analyzed, and hardware of control system is established. Software composed of multiple modules is developed with VC++, and also communication between PC and PMAC is realized. Furthermore, a method to optimize manufacturing process and interpolation path is presented according to characteristics of lost foam machining. Simulation and experiment are carried out, and the results confirm that the control system is excellent.
