Stufy on an open servo system for intelligent control of a CNC machine tool

An open servo control system for an intelligent CNC machine tool system has been proposed and developed. The developed system is equipped with real-time access window, through which user custom application software can monitor or modify any parameters and variables of servo system in a real time manner as a parallel session while the standard servo control is being performed. The developed system has been implemented in a CNC vertical-machining center for feasibility study by integrating the software model reference adaptive control as custom application. The experimental results have successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of the open servo system.
