In order to use magnetorheological finishing (MRF) to accomplish ultra-precision machining of complex curve surfaces, an open computer numerical control (CNC) system based on universal motion and automation controller (UMAC) has been developed. The paper introduces the hardware structure of the system, elucidates the control algorithm and parameters tuning of PID + velocity/acceleration feed-forward + notch filter, and explains the design of a friendly human-machine interface (HMI) to satisfy the need of actual manufacturing and complicated numerical control. With the open CNC system, a 4mm-diameter circle is polished on the MRF experimental prototype with the contour error of 1.67% and the surface roughness Ra of 1.4nm. Experimental results prove that the open CNC system for the MRF machine tool meets the requirements of ultra-precision machining.

PC-based software computer numerical control (CNC) system is the ideal for open CNC system, but there are some problems about the current open CNC system, such as the limitation of interpolation cycle, demanding on high-speed and high precision machining and the limitation of operation system (OS). So advances a novel PC-based architecture for compiled-type software CNC system, in the architecture, the general Windows is adopted as CNC platform and adopts two huge memories acting as data buffer to solve real time problem. And then analyzes the structure and basic principle of compiling system. The hardware has been developed based on this architecture and applied in the CNC system.

The characteristics of open CNC system and the current several open CNC system models are introduced in this paper. In order to overcome the contradiction between the frequent changes demand and the closure of the traditional system, the open CNC system software and hardware architectures were investigated based on web-collaborative design and development, which improve the system development efficiency. Using the Windows XP operating system as a software platform, the Visual C++ 6.0 object-oriented programming language is adopted to design the CNC drilling control software based on the "PC + NC" the model and modular co-design methods, which improve the openness of the CNC system.

The computerize numerical control (CNC) system is one of the key factors for the development of micro v-groove machine tools to fabrication micro v-groove structures. Based on the investigation on the machining of micro v-groove structures, a developed software contains five modules: editing, automatic programming, program control, manual control and human machine interface. A3200 software based motion controller integrated with the machine characteristics is used in this study to develop the motion control functions of the micro v-groove machine tool. Meanwhile, a method is proposed to redefine the instructions of M, T and S by setting monitoring points so as to enhance the scalability of CNC system. The results show that the CNC system software is not only stable and reliable, but also satisfies the basic requirements of the ultra-precision machining of micro v-groove structures.

On the base of analyzing the kinematics equations of non-circular machine tool, a new control algorithm is created by lathe tool kinematics principle, which based on the time-base method, in the non-circular machine tool have been verified on the experimental results show that the machining accuracy can be improved effectively. In order to obtain non-circular turning function relative to traditional CNC system, a new Open CNC systems was designed based on PMAC (programmable multi-axes controller) and linear motor. The research focused on the time-base following control between the CNC system and the linear servo systems used for the non-circular section turning. The advantages of the linear motor system directly driven by simple structure, quick transient response, high velocity and acceleration, high accuracy, little vibration and noise etc, which meets the requirements of manufacturing parts with non-circular section, and has been widely applied in the CNC forming and machining. To fit the crank non-circular contour, uses the high frequency linear servo motor to drive the tool move to-and-fro with high frequency, so the tool will track the crank non-circular contour with real time. With the results of several experiments for time-base following control with displacement feedback, the feasibility and efficiency of Open CNC system are verified.

This paper develops a three dimensional (3D) simulation system with QT platform and OpenGL 3D library by adopting the driver and Aerotech’s linear motor as hardware platform and INtime and A3200 controller as the software platform. The system uses numerical control (NC) code syntax checking module to test the NC code syntax and applies 3D simulation module to display the actual machining process. The interference and collision detection module is built in this system to detect the problem during the actual processing. The system therefore contributes to avoiding the trial and tests for the ultra-precision machining process and improving the machining efficiency as well as reducing the loss of ultra-precision components of machine tool due to the collision.
