Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Machine Control Design

Bruce:

Are you wanting to have the CNC control the distance travelled and the depth
change? If so you will need 2 axis of control. If you are planning to let
some other device, such as adjustable limit switches, control the distance
being travelled then a single axis would work. I don't see why any of the G
code interpreter software packages would not work as this would be a very
simple application. Stepper motors should work well. Another path to take
is using a microcontroller such as an 8051 family controller (maybe an 80C52
BASIC) or a PIC microcontroller. The programming should be quite simple for
this application.
