The radome CNC
Grinding Machine is a special machine tool for grinding a large-scale thin-wall component with complicated
3-D surface of revolution,made of a hard and brittle material. It is used to finish machining of the inner surface of the semi-finished radome to ensure the precision of its electric thickness. According to the functional requirement of the CNC grinding machine and the design principle of the user
interface, the design and application of a user interface for the
special CNC grinding machine of the missile radome is presented in this paper.The MMI (man machine interface) is composed of two interfaces,one interface is programmed in Visual Basic and the other, in Visual C++. The measuring or machining status, the help information, the coordinates of each axis and the executed G code file are all displayed on the screen. and a lot of system modules are encapsulated in the software. The grinding test shows that the user interface is user-friendly, easy in operation and complete in function.
