VEGA MX-2 CNC Control

CNC Software for Better Finishing
High Speed CNC Picture

One of the major innovations in the VEGA MX-2 Series CNC software is the unique Block Processing System which comprises the following sections:
  • Block Parser

  The function of the Block Parser is to read a block of NC code from the input device and parse it into binary form for high speed processing by the subsequent CNC operations.
  • Acceleration/Deceleration Preprocessor

  The Acc/Dec preprocessor performs vector analysis on the resulting blocks and calculates a maximum allowable feedrate for the end of each block. The Acc/Dec preprocessor then completes its task by transferring the new block into the Acc/Dec FIFO buffer.
  • Interpolator and Acc/Dec Processor

  The Acc/Dec processor creates true constant rate acceleration and deceleration as opposed to "S" curve or other Acc/Dec processors. Constant-rate acceleration and deceleration result in the shortest possible time (or distance) for stopping or accelerating to the programmed speed for a given peak acceleration or deceleration. Other profiles cause loss of time at the beginning or end (or both) of an acceleration or deceleration.
  • Interpolator and Acc/Dec Processor Continued

  The Interpolator withdraws blocks from the Acc/Dec buffer and interpolates each block into points spaced by 2 to 4 ms. Each point lies on the line or arc defined by the block. Spacing is based on the distance remaining to get to the end of the block, the overridden programmed feed rate, and the allowable feed rate at the end of the block. The interpolator stuffs each interpolated point, along with its time period, into the Axis Drive FIFO buffer.

  The integrated constant-rate dynamic acceleration/deceleration dramatically improves surface finishes at higher feedrates by utilizing the maximum torque constant of the servo motors. Basic CNC I/O interfaces such as spindle control, spindle control with automatic gear change, tool changers, part indexers and pallet shuttle are just a few of the many logic modules available. With human-readable error messages, user prompts, and a menu driven interface, the MX-2 is one of the friendliest kids on the block. There are no error numbers to decipher, just plain English. The display pages were designed by operators for operators.
