What this is: CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE is a modular CNC control system for retrofitting old, non-standard, and special-purpose machines.

CNC CONTROL PLATFORM

CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE

Modular CNC control system for machine modernization

We are developing an engineering platform for retrofitting old, non-standard, and special-purpose machines. A working MVP has already been deployed on a real 6-axis TRIPET cylindrical grinding machine.

Purpose

When the machine mechanics are still valuable but the control system is outdated

CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE is being built for factories that still have mechanically valuable machines, but old electronics, closed CNC controls, or non-standard kinematics prevent efficient operation.

MVP

Real deployment exists

The system has been tested on a 6-axis TRIPET cylindrical grinding machine. This is not a bench demo, but a working machine.

RETRO

Retrofit for a specific machine

Controllers, interface, and operation scenarios are adapted to the mechanics, drives, sensors, and technological task.

PILOT

Looking for pilot projects

We are considering machines, production lines, non-standard mechanisms, and partnerships for further platform development.

Capabilities

Flexible control system for specific mechanics

The platform is designed not for an abstract average machine, but for real axes, sensors, drives, operator interface, and technological scenarios.

AXIS Axis control

The system can control linear and rotary axes, auxiliary mechanisms, and positioning units.

  • Axis set, directions, limits, and reference points are configured individually.
  • In the current MVP, one controller controls two axes.
I/O Encoders and sensors

External encoders, position sensors, limit switches, and reference signals can be integrated.

  • The system is designed to account for existing mechanics in older machines.
  • Adaptation to non-standard wiring and signal schemes is possible.
HMI Operator Web-HMI

The operator works through a web interface on an industrial panel, touch monitor, or workstation.

  • Manual mode, automatic mode, programs, axes, tools, and diagnostics.
  • Screens are assembled from functional panels for a specific machine.
G/M G/M commands and scenarios

Machining programs may include G-codes, M-commands, and specialized technological cycles.

  • Custom machining cycles can be created for special tasks.
  • Scenario parameters can be stored on the server and in the database.
DIAG Diagnostics and evolution

The platform is being built not only as an execution control, but also as an engineering environment for development.

  • Event logs, controller state, service screens, and scenario debugging.
  • Functions are expanded through real pilot deployments.
Architecture

Controllers, server, database, and Web-HMI

CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE is built as a distributed control system: low-level controllers work with physical equipment, the server stores settings and routes commands, and the Web-HMI provides the operator workspace.

Key idea

The system separates responsibility layers: controllers execute commands and handle signals, the server stores configuration, and the interface is adapted to the operator and technology.

TRIPET case

First working MVP on a 6-axis cylindrical grinding machine

TRIPET became the first major deployment of CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE. The machine was used to validate the control architecture, Web-HMI, axes, spindles, programs, and grinding technology cycles.

Measurable parameters for project discussion

Axes and interpolation

The current working level is two-axis interpolation within one controller. The number of interpolated axes in the new architecture is confirmed by testing a specific version.

Coordinate input

The interface provides manual steps around 0.1 / 0.01 / thousandths of a millimeter. Real accuracy depends on mechanics, drives, encoders, backlash, and tuning.

Feeds

Feeds are set programmatically. The MVP uses speed presets, including values up to 3400 mm/min for some modes.

G/M/L dialect

G/M commands and extended L cycles are supported. Special technological commands and scenarios can be developed for special machines.

Machine peripherals

The system is intended for axes, encoders, limit switches, reference sensors, relays, valves, coolant, air, spindles, workhead, tool, and external devices.

Import substitution

CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE is developed as a Russian engineering project: architecture, server logic, Web-HMI, controller logic, and documentation are developed by a local team.

IMPORTANT

CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE is not a serial universal CNC control sold out of the box. Each machine requires inspection, engineering design, adaptation, and testing.

Why it matters

Keep useful mechanics and replace outdated control

Many factories still have mechanically valuable machines that are hard to use because of old electronics, failed CNC controls, or lack of modern automation.

Buying a new industrial CNC control is not always justified, especially when the machine is non-standard, used for a limited set of operations, or requires individual logic.

CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE offers a project-based approach: keep useful mechanics, replace or extend the control system, adapt the interface, and implement the required technological modes.

Documents

Materials for machine owners, engineers, and partners

The site will publish documents about the platform, TRIPET case, architecture, modernization, and preparation of pilot projects.

What the documents will contain

System description, safety, machine startup and shutdown, axes, interface, manual and automatic modes, G/M commands, technological sections, architecture, and requirements for equipment inspection.

Work formats

Not a boxed product, but an engineering deployment

The main work format now is project-based modernization of a specific machine or production line, pilot deployments, and joint platform development.

01 Machine inspection

We study the model, mechanical condition, old control system, axes, drives, sensors, schematics, and technological task.

02 Pilot modernization

A format for factories ready to provide a machine or task for joint system development.

03 Turnkey modernization

Architecture design, hardware modules, installation, server side, Web-HMI, axis tuning, scenarios, tests, and documentation.

04 Joint development

We are looking for partners in machine tools, automation, servo drives, control cabinets, metalworking, interfaces, and testing.

What is needed for an initial estimate

Machine or line model, photos of equipment and control cabinet, current problem description, desired result, availability of electrical schematics, axis set, and operations.

Who it is not for

It is not suitable if you need an immediate serial replacement for FANUC / Siemens / Heidenhain without adaptation, a ready certified control for mass supply, or a project without inspection and testing.

Discuss machine modernization or partnership

We consider proposals for modernizing machines, non-standard equipment, and production lines. We are also open to partnerships with engineers, integrators, technologists, and manufacturing companies.
