Abstract:
Increment in the number of accidents in the workshops and due to the problems caused by the production of the complex part by traditional machining such as lack of quality and the need of plenty time for the production process and with the advancement of technology, all these demands for Computer Numerical Control machines in industries is rapidly rising. Computer Numerical Control machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools without direct human assistance. Computer Numerical Control is a very broad term that encompasses a variety of types of machines all with different sizes, shapes, and functions. Computer Numerical Control has found its applications mainly in lathes, drills, milling machines etc. In this paper, a two-dimensional Computer Numerical Control machine designed and implemented in efficient and low-cost hardware architecture, it is able to draw images/texts. In addition, the idea behind our project is to design and draw Printed Circuit Board layouts based on a low-cost Computer Numerical Control system. The control mechanism of the designed machine is based on using Arduino UNO, Inkscape and the Geode-sender software. The outcome of the paper is to help researchers and designers in the area of Computer Numerical Control machines.
