Interpreting the G-code of drilling machining to use in open CNC controller machine

Abstract

Computer numerical control (CNC) software is the "brain"of a machine tool as it controls the machine tool's movement. The development of open CNC controller systems is one of the most popular topics in the last three decades due to the current CNC remains exclusive and costly. However, there is no open-source system that can use with an open CNC controller. In this developed system, the drilling G-code was analyzed to extract the points before simulating and sending it to any open CNC controller machine. Among the machining processes used most extensively is drilling. The used modules and functions are created by LabVIEW. The results show the system's extracted points are similar to the draw drilling point in Solid work.
