Simulations of heat effects in MACH3 control circuits for CNC machines

Abstract

Nowadays CNC machines are no longer an unfamiliar term in Vietnam. They
have already appeared in most of the fields of manufacturing, especially in the
industry sector. In addition, MACH3 is a controller set for CNC machines
which is known for being relatively cheap, small, and highly suitable for
demands and preferences for both Vietnamese and Chinese markets. However,
during the operating process, heat generation is certainly unavoidable. This may
have some certain effects on the stability and durability of circuit elements, and
therefore repairs or replacements may slow down the work progress as well as
increasing repair costs. Research on the phenomenon of heat effects in
MACH3control circuits for CNC machines (namely circuit CNC BOB MACH3
LPT) using emulation methods will open a very near future where CNC
machines designed and manufactured in Vietnam will have better quality and
be gradually more popular. Accordingly, it will insignificantly contribute to the
development of national science and technology.
