Abstract :
At present, the ability to generate the tools processing path is commonplace in CAD/CAM systems, but the technology used for NC programming is still based on G, M code. According to all questions of the CNC system, it is proposed a new idea that we use one of the UG modules UG GRIP to generate the tools processing coordinates to replace the G, M code program. And we make use of kernel platform as a middleware providing bridges between the software modules on upper-computer and the CNC machine by using the process and resource models. In addition, we detailed introduce the DSP control system design and software design based on this design concept, and give the control flow. it initial realizes X-Y table of the CNC milling machine two-axis moving at the same time base on DSP, which not only prove the correctness of previous principle but are beneficial to further research and application.
