Development of open platform controller for step-NC compliant CNC system

The Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines have gone through tremendous upgrades along the years. However, conventional CNC machines could not find its place in the new era of machining under the conventional standard of ISO 6983 due to its limitation in compatibility, language difference a...
