LINUXCNC – THE ENHANCED MACHINE CONTROLLER: APPLICATION AND AN OVERVIEW

This paper presents an application and a critical overview of the Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC2), a Linux based CNC open architecture control system (OAC) implemented in an industrial milling testbed platform. The development of such a machine tool was motivated by educational and research requirements, especially in the field of design and analysis of machining process monitoring and control algorithms. The EMC2 was analysed in view of compatible hardware components and software interfaces, configuration abilities and industrial applicability. Also, characteristics of the developed testbed together with the basic implementation details are depicted.
