Abstract
In this paper, it is intended to make the mechanical design of 3 axis Computer Numerical Control (CNC) router with linear joints, production of electronic control interface cards and drivers and manufacturing of CNC router system which is a combination of mechanics and electronics. At the same time, interface program has been prepared to control router via USB. The router was developed for educational purpose. In some vocational schools and universities, Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) courses are though rather theoretical. This situation cause ineffective and temporary learning. Moreover, students at schools which have the opportunity to apply for these systems can face with various dangerous accidents. Because of this situation, these students start to get knowledge about this system for the first time. For the first steps of CNC education, using smaller and less dangerous systems will be easier. A new concept CNC machine and its user interface suitable and profitable for education have been completely designed and realized during this study. To test the validity of the hypothesis which the benefits that may exist on the educational life, enhanced traditional education method with the contribution of the designed machine has been practiced on CAM course students for a semester. At the end of the semester, the new method applied students were more successful in the rate of 27.36 percent both in terms of verbal comprehension and exam grades.
Highlights
In some vocational schools and universities, Co mputer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) courses are though rather theoretical
Targets were performed in educational 3 axis Co mputer Nu merical Control (CNC) router system and it was observed that system worked properly
The students have difficulty to design or use real systems caused by the theoretical e xpe riences in CAM courses
Summary
In some vocational schools and universities, Co mputer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) courses are though rather theoretical. Students at schools that have the opportunity to applying real Co mputer Nu merical Control (CNC) machines, can face with various accidents. To eliminate these problems , various simu lation systems are used. By applying a sort of debugging process to written code instead of making direct ly real-life testing of applications that confronted and observed, training more efficient and effective results with CNC machines are becoming possible. Tseng and Kolluri, in their study, are designed microcontroller controlled 3 axis CNC router [4]. Their aim is was try out new technologies and use them in educational applications, especially.
