Description
Summary:Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) laser cutting machines are capable of producing high-quality precise parts. However, as cutting speeds is increased, in order to achieve higher productivity, the accuracy of the parts is affected. In order to improve the contouring accuracy of these machines, a simple straight-forward joint simulation and experimental strategy is proposed. The position controllers within the feed drives are considered the key factor in improving the dynamic behavior and consequently the contouring accuracy of a CNC laser cutting machine at the shop floor level.
