Working Principle of a CNC Carving Robot

  1. Design Input

    • Operates using CAD/CAM software to convert 3D models or 2D vector designs into machine-readable G-code instructions.

  2. Motion Control System

    • Utilizes servo motors and linear actuators to achieve:
      ▪ X/Y/Z-axis precision positioning (±0.01mm accuracy)
      ▪ Spindle rotation (typically 8,000-24,000 RPM)
      ▪ Toolpath optimization algorithms

  3. Material Processing

    • Cutting tools (end mills, engraving bits, or lasers) remove material through:
      ▪ Subtractive machining
      ▪ Layer-by-layer material ablation
      ▪ Force-controlled contact (10-200N adjustable pressure)

  4. Sensory Feedback

    • Integrated systems monitor:
      ✔ Torque variations
      ✔ Thermal changes
      ✔ Vibration patterns
      ✔ Tool wear (via laser metrology)

  5. Adaptive Operation

    • Real-time path correction compensates for:
      ▫ Material density variations
      ▫ Tool deflection
      ▫ Environmental temperature shifts

  6. Safety Mechanisms

    • Emergency stop protocols

    • Collision detection sensors

    • Dust extraction systems (60-100 CFM airflow)
