Perfection in Automation www.br-automation.com CNC Technology

Computerized numerical control For more than 40 years, the term CNC has been synonymous with high-precision machine tools used in the manufacturing and processing of many different kinds of workpieces. The primary objective of CNC machine tools is to ensure the precision of the programmed path. In addition, handling technology-

3 CNC from B&R dently implement machine processes on the controller. This reduces development times while providing a way to protect proprietary knowledge, which in turn makes it possible for manufacturers to take advantage of unique selling points for their products. In addition, B&R‘s total solution combines excellent dynamics at the highest levels of precision for process movements and ensures the increased machine throughput that results. This is achieved by completing integrating CNC, the PLC and motion control on a single centralized control computer. Interpolation times in the...

Isn‘t it the wish of every machine or system designer to procure a complete platform to automate control tasks? This is because the requirements and demands that need to be met when developing new machine concepts go far beyond simply lining up a sequence of individual processes. Machines often have to be able to handle direct connections between path control systems and I/O as well as intervening actions in drive functions that derive from the process itself. Auxiliary axes need to be coupled to path axes, and it must be possible to visualize all sequences in real time. Networking machines...

Range of CNC functions Room for interpretation The GMC interpreter acts as the interface to the user. Text-based CNC programs and movement sequences for robots are translated by the interpreter, evaluated in the subsequent function modules and then converted into movements. CNC applications are programmed in accordance with the DIN 66025 standard, with corresponding expansion possibilities for special functions. - preter as is usually the case; rather,

7 processed cyclically until either an assigned termination condition is met or the end of the CNC program is reached. Functions and function blocks Functions and function blocks used in a CNC program may be grouped together into a B&R library. Both functions and function blocks are executed synchronously to the interpreter or to the path depending
