The CNC is becoming increasingly smaller as the surface mount
technology and custom LSI technology advance.
In many cases, as the CNC becomes more compact, the mounting
locations of its constituent units become closer to a noise source in the
power magnetics cabinet.
In general, noise is generated by electrostatic coupling, electromagnetic
induction, or a grounding loop, and is induced into the CNC.
The CNC incorporates sufficient countermeasures against external noise.
However, it is difficult to measure the level and frequency of noise
quantitatively, and many unknown factors are involved. So, to improve
the operation stability of a CNC machine tool system, noise generation
must be minimized, and the induction of generated noise into the CNC
must be suppressed.
For design of equipment including a power magnetics cabinet, take these
countermeasures on the machine side against noise into consideration.
The cables used with a CNC machine tool are classified as indicated
below. Handle the cables of each group according to the descriptions in
the “Action” column.
