G-Code: The CNC Programming Language
You know what they say about fundamentals: learn them first, and you’ll remember them forever. The same holds true for CNC programming. Even as new manufacturing technologies unfold, the fundamentals…
CNC Programming structure
How should be a CNC Programming structure ??? CNC Programming has a defined structure which machine can read the codes without errors. NC Programming can be categorized into 3 parts:…
Encoders for CNC machining applications
Few mechanical systems depend on a combination of speed, accuracy and repeatability more than the modern machine tool—especially in the age of multi-axis, CNC machinery and small-part, small-production runs. A…
Synchronous Motor
Definition: The motor which runs at synchronous speed is known as the synchronous motor. The synchronous speed is the constant speed at which motor generates the electromotive force. The synchronous motor…
Open-loop System
The open-loop configuration does not monitor or measure the condition of its output signal as there is no feedback In the previous tutorial about Electronic Systems, we saw that a…
What is a linear motor?
If you were to slice a rotary servo motor and lay it flat, you would have, essentially, a linear motor. The rotor with permanent magnets becomes the stationary part of…
What is a Servomotor?
A servomotor is a linear actuator or rotary actuator that allows for precise control of linear or angular position, acceleration, and velocity. It consists of a motor coupled to a…
What is a Stepper Motor?
Stepper motors are DC motors that move in discrete steps. They have multiple coils that are organized in groups called "phases". By energizing each phase in sequence, the motor will…
Spindle Drive
This website gives a short overview of electrical machines used as high speed spindle drives. Furthermore, the challenges of developing and manufacturing spindle drives are explained. With e+a located in Switzerland, there…
FEED DRIVES
A feed drive consists of a feed servomotor and an electronic controller. Unlike a spindle motor, the feed motor has certain special characteristics, like constant torque and positioning. Also, in…
