Researches Regarding Optimizing the Accuracy of CNC Laser Cutting Machines

Abstract:

The experimental researches presented in this paper are aimed to improve the manufacturing accuracy of a contouring machine together with an approach to eliminate the errors which lead to a less precise part after machining.In order to eliminate the errors, the machine's feed drives were tuned leading to a more precise part. In order to validate the proposed approach, the accuracy of the machine was tested before and after the tuning process.
