In this thesis,author analyze and implement a complete CAD/CAM/
CNC and tracking process on a flame cutting mechine. A fPLC
develop system based on Windows environment along with the
distributed real- time computer network was used to investigate
a flexible PC-based CNC controller. In this system,the
flexiblity of network achieve the addition of network nodes,e.
g.,AC servo motor module and PLC module, without any additional
cost. In the servo system design, an AC servo motor
controlled by digital scheme is used here. Because of the
built-in 16-bit micro- processor, all progresses were
computerized. In addition, with the network structure, the on-
line monitoring and parameter tuning can be reached easily. In
the CAD/CAM unit, a CNC pre-processing program which can help
to produce CNC part program from graph drawing automatically is
developed. This program provides the function of products
schedule planning, cutting elements setting, and manufacture
order arranging. In image tracking, author combined the image
system with the control system to be a basis of the integral of
of this system and other independent working unit. Althought,
we put our attention on the flame cutting machine, this
strategy can also be applied on the other cutting machine if
other blades were used.
