PEMBUATAN PIRANTI LUNAK G-CODE GENERATOR UNTUK PROSES CNC ENGRAVING

Abstract

Input of CNC machine is a numerical codes that contain the coordinate of toolpath and type of machine movement. Traditional process of toolpath creation take much time, because we have to make a motion path in detail. Therefore, it’s need a software applications that can make use of CNC machines easier. Concept of convertion from digital image into numerical code through several step ,that is format convertion process, images thresholding, analyzed it’s pixel coordinates and then converted into G-Code as input to the CNC machine. The software testing process consists of three stages, namely 1) test of suitability an output formats based on required format, 2) test of suitability an output (simulation results) with the original image, and 3) test with multiple complexity levels. The test results indicate that this software has been running well, it can be seen from the simulation result’s and the input process on the CNC machine running smoothly without any errors.
