Design of engraving and milling machine control system based on path planning
Abstract
The demand for five-axis linkage engraving and milling machines in precision machining continues to grow. To address this need, this study designed a path planning-based control system for engraving and milling machines. A hierarchical control system architecture was adopted: the hardware layer combined an industrial control computer with a control card, the drive layer employed a bus communication mode, and the application layer integrated manual, automatic, and path planning modules. MATLAB simulations and practical machining experiments demonstrated that the designed control system achieved manual debug, automatic machining, and path planning for the engraving machine. Compared with manual planning, the ACO reduces machining time by 5.7% through path optimization, providing a technical reference for intelligent manufacturing equipment control.
