Description
Zhihang Pan and co-authors test an open-source control system for ultra-precision machine axes, in work published in 2024. EtherCAT is a fast communication bus used in computer-controlled machine tools. High-end controllers with the master function built in are common, but the open-source IgH master had rarely been tried on ultra-precision machines.
The team turned a personal computer into a bus controller running the open master. They designed a motion interpolation method and a way to process tool-path code so the master gets accurate real-time data. Precision air-bearing axes and servo drives served as the controlled devices. Tests covered single-axis moves and two axes moving together in lines and circles. The controller drove the axes through ultra-precision motion well, showing the open route can meet the strict demands.
