Summary:The objective of this research is to develop an advanced controller for CNC machines equipped with Hexaglide parallel mechanisms. While traditional CNC machines employ mechanisms with perpendicular axes, accuracy may be compromised when processing high force loads. Parallel mechanisms, such as Hexaglide, have gained attention in the CNC industry due to their ability to maintain precision at high speeds and power. However, the absence of a sophisticated controller for converting G-Code to motion paths has been a significant drawback for CNC machines with parallel mechanisms. This research proposes a solution by introducing a controller that can translate G-Code generated by code software into appropriate motion commands for the Hexaglide mechanism.
