Review on Real Time Control of Feed of Milling Machine for Machining Operations
Authors
Abstract
Nowadays, Milling machine is very useful in various applications for giving the desired shape to product from raw material in various industries by doing different operations like cutting, turning etc. At present, CNC (Computer Numeric Control) takes the position of conventional Milling machine, which is very costly as compare to conventional machine. Little modification can make the conventional machine into semi-automatic which can work very similar like CNC machine. By doing retrofitting, conventional horizontal milling machine convert into semi-automatic milling machine. In this project, we used variable frequency drive, a microcontroller, actuator which can control the speed of feed of Horizontal Milling Machine and made a semi-automatic. In this we give input in the form of speed with the help of computer or mobile phone through the IOT (Internet of Things) platform.
