1. INTRODUCTION
3. METHODOLOGY
In industries, where machines can be demonstrated automatically. This whole process, which is made and works with the human mind, no need for any human interaction for further production is known as Automation. Similarly in this Two in One CNC machine, we need to upload G-code for the process after uploading the code it performs plotting by itself. The main reason for reviewing is to evaluate existing methodologies and its efficiency to make a pen plotter which reduced the cost under fewer circumstances. After reading this paper there will be a clear understanding of pen plotter with laser engraving and it helps to guide you to build a pen plotter with laser engraving machine. The working principle of Computerized Numerical Control (CNC), which the activities are self-regulated based on the G-codes entered. The working of a plotter and other components used in build for pen plotter with laser engraving are explained in further topics. Since there must be given equal importance for mechanical design, hardware, and software implementation the topics are also framed based on it.
The main difficulty faced in the production of a pen plotter with laser engraving is choosing the perfect design and proper electrical components. Discussing mechanical design for the Two in One CNC machine must it based on the place where it should be plot. The main factors for designing the plotter where it be plotting, driving mechanism (belt) and the placement of components. As simple plotter can be made using two CD drives and it used for plotting as well as laser engraving can be used area about 80mm*80mm, but its outcome could be small area, and it can also become a prototype for further tasks. Here it focusses on plotting an area of 350mm*350mm. This is the first step designing plotter of output. Upcoming topics will be clear for the selection of components and the uses of them.
4. MECHANICAL DESIGN For any type of machine, design is a basic or essential need. After the design complete any electrical elements can be placed upon it. This topic also includes actions like manufacturing and assembly. It focused on the available materials. As mentioned before, using CD drives can also be used. But for the area of 350mm*350mm, the design will be like as shown in figures Fig 2, 3.
2. WORKING The block diagram (Fig 1) as a reference of pen plotter with laser engraving machine, the overall technique works, when we upload the converted G-code file into the software in a computer, the signals are passed through data cable which connected to the control panel and from there to motor shield or driver, based on selection of motor shield. This motor driver will help to trigger the stepper motor, Stepper motor X-1 and Stepper motor Y-1 for moving in two cartesian coordinates and for Z-axis Servo motor were used. Writing pen and laser module were attached with servo motor which moves up and down for plotting. This way all types of pen plotter works.
