Abstract

The growth in manufacturing technology enhanced the usage of CAD and CAM in industry. CNC systems are frequently been adopted for manufacturing. The high precision, accuracy, and repeatability of these systems are making them popular in industry as well as among researchers. The high capital investment involved force these systems far from the reach of researchers and students. For research in manufacturing trends, researchers and students usually came across the need of precise axial movements. The aim of this work is to make CNC technology portable and available for researchers and students. Rigid base of 16 mm thick aluminum plate was designed, with lead screw accumulating the linear movements. NEMA 23 stepper motors were used to power the linear drives with the help of micro stepping driver and CNC USB control. The final router developed is flexible for any imaginative use as well as economical thus can be a very supportive tool in the hands of researchers and students.
