API for real-time control during machining process
Posted: Sun Feb 09, 2025 11:55 am
Hello there. I am keen to explore the feasibility of dynamically controlling machining parameters—such as spindle speed, depth of cut, and more—using a programming language like Python or C during the machining process. By this way, I can monitor the machining quality and improve it by adjust the parameters during the machining process in real-time.
While I understand that many CNC machines allow manual parameter adjustments via controller boards, I am particularly interested in achieving this level of control programmatically through python or C scripting.
If there are existing APIs that facilitate such integration, I would greatly appreciate any recommendations. Additionally, I am curious about the possibility of developing a custom API for this purpose if none currently exist. I would be grateful for any insights, suggestions, or guidance on how to approach this. Thank you in advance!
