DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF A COMPUTER NUMERICAL CONTROL MACHINE, FOCUSING ON LOW PRODUCTION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS

Abstract

THE PRESENT WORK INCLUDES THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A PROTOTYPE OF A CNC ROUTER WITH THREE INDEPENDENT AXES. SEVERAL CONSTRUCTIVE ASPECTS RELATED TO MECHANICS AND ELECTRONICS ARE APPROACHED, ALWAYS USING ENGINEERING CRITERIA FOR THE SELECTION OF COMPONENTS. THE STRUCTURE IS MADE OF MATERIALS THAT ARE EASY TO HANDLE AND THAT REQUIRE THE LEAST POSSIBLE USER INTERACTION, IN ORDER TO DESIGN A MACHINE THAT IS EASY TO BUILD, LOW COST AND WHICH MEETS DIFFERENT NEEDS.
