I decided to go the other way and used the modular industrial computer. Long cable caught electrical impulses and disrupt the work of the CNC. I am engaged in the modernization of CNC machines more than 15 years and I know that all must be well protected and shielded in an industrial environment. Then make a separate housing for the electronics, drivers, power supply units, etc. There are many programs that can operate the machine (MACH 3, linux CNC, KCam, CNC-D etc), But I chose MACH 3 CNC since it is very well known, has a large number of users and is easy to install.Īlmost all use usual computers with the installed program. Suddenly tomorrow you’ll want to install on the machine an additional axis and make more complex parts? Without a computer, and update the program it is much more difficult to do it. Sometimes CNC controllers do without the use of a computer, but I think it greatly limits the possibility of extending the functions of the machine. It consists of various electronic circuit boards, computer and a computer program that controls the movement of the machine’s motors, calculate speed and other. Actually, it's called CNC system, but often it is called a CNC controller.ĬNC controller - is the brain of the machine. The Internet is full of different instructions on how to make beautiful / reliable / cheap / big / small homemade DIY CNC router.īut I’ve never found how to make a reliable, inexpensive and beautiful CNC controller.
