Development of Manufacturing Control and Data Acquisition System for Micro Electrochemical Milling Process

ABSTRACT

In order to realize real-time control and detection of the three-dimensional micro-electrochemical milling process, a data acquisition and control system is established based on virtual instrument software LabWindows/CVI. The three-dimensional tool path optimization, tool path servo feed algorithm, the data acquisition and anti-jamming algorithm are investigated. First, according to the characteristics of micro-electrochemical milling process, this paper analyzes the requirements of the control and detection system in depth. After that, a high-precision experimental system for 3D micro-electrochemical milling is established. Then, the optimization of tool path and the data acquisition and its feedback control module are discussed as follows. Finally, experiments are carried out and a three-step staircase structure is fabricated successfully. It shows that the system can meet the requirements of micro-electrochemical milling process.
