Development of NC System of the 3-PUU Parallel Machine Tool Based on PMAC

In this paper, a PUU parallel machine tool with three translational degrees of freedom (DOF) is designed which is usually used in the complex grain machining of the solid rocket engine.， and its numerical control system is described in detail. The so-called “PC+PMAC” is used as the hardware platform, and Windows as the software one, the parallel machine tool NC system is built. The features, such as multi-axis motion control and fast real time communication of PMAC, software resources and efficient data processing of PC are utilized such that Man Machine Interface, position servo control, real time measurement of cutter configuration and closed loop control of the parallel machine tool are realized.
