Diseño para la Conversión de una Fresadora Manual a un Sistema CNC Design for Retrofitting a Manual Milling Machine into a CNC System

Abstract

Retrofitting conventional milling machines with Computer Numerical Control (CNC) sys tems offers a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new equipment while extending the op erational life of existing machines. This thesis presents the complete mechatronic design and virtual validation of a three-axis CNC retrofit for a conventional vertical milling machine. A three-dimensional CAD model was developed in SOLIDWORKS to determine the mechani cal characteristics of the system and support servo motor selection. The design was subse quently implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and Simscape Multibody...
