This project focus on study about small CNC lathe control. using by the joystick in the Mach3 program. At First, Should know how to work the machine ? Next step,study on use of the software about the machining process. Include, Mach3 program for control when machine is running and setting the shortcut commands within the joystick. Need to be compatible with the Mach3 program.Then create a material test using the joystick to enter the command to the program. From the experiments that small cnc lathe control using by joystick control of the system when moving the machine and average speed of testing is 3.87 minutes per piece. How to control small CNC lathe control using by the joystick by the program. The system is simple.You can setting a shortcut command in the position in which you want to use for the convenience of users.
