Conversion of a conventional lathe into a computer control machine using AC motors

Abstract

This paper describes development of converting a conventional CNC lathe into a computer controlled turning machine. The project required purchasing dedicated hardware, AC motors, controllers. An interface is developed to connect the system to a PC using serial cable. The software developed in Pascal controls the cutting tool via controlling the speed of motors. A number of cuttting operations are programmed and tested and tolerances achieved presented.
