Control Device for a Type of Machine Tools

Abstract

The basic features of the auxiliary drives in a kind of machine tools are analyzed in the presented work. Based on this, a control algorithm of the additionally introduced auxiliary drive has been developed taking into account the mechanical gear, the type of the computer numerical control and the respective sensors. Two different approaches for control of this drive are shown, namely one with ladder diagrams and one with the Verilog hardware description language (Verilog HDL). Experimental results of the implemented control device with Verilog HDL are presented and discussed. The research carried out and the results obtained can be applied in the design of such drives for the machine tools under consideration.
