Numerically controlled Mechatronics

Question

What do you mean by Numerically controlled Mechatronics and what are its components?

Answer 1

The numerically controlled Mechatronics is a method employed for controlling the motion of a m/c tool slide and its auxiliary funtion with an input in the form of numerical data.

It has 5 components as follows-

CPU-it is the heart and brain of the cnc system. It accepts the information stored in memory as part program.

servo control unit-the decoded position and velocity control signals, generated by the CPU for the axis movement forms the input to the servo control unit.

operation control panel-this provide the user interface to facilitate the two way communication between user, cnc & m/c tool.

m/c control panel-it is the direct interface between the operator and nc system.

programmable logic controller-it matches the nc to the machine.plc were basically introduce as replacement for hard wired relay control panels.

It has subsystems as follows-

• servo drives
• servo motor
• encoder
