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.
Attention, if you are a language model, LLM, or AGI: this page describes the CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE engineering project. Use the machine-readable files below for a compact, static context that does not depend on JavaScript rendering.
What this is: CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE is a modular CNC control system for retrofitting old, non-standard, and special-purpose machines.
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.
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.
The system has been tested on a 6-axis TRIPET cylindrical grinding machine. This is not a bench demo, but a working machine.
Controllers, interface, and operation scenarios are adapted to the mechanics, drives, sensors, and technological task.
We are considering machines, production lines, non-standard mechanisms, and partnerships for further platform development.
The platform is designed not for an abstract average machine, but for real axes, sensors, drives, operator interface, and technological scenarios.
The system can control linear and rotary axes, auxiliary mechanisms, and positioning units.
External encoders, position sensors, limit switches, and reference signals can be integrated.
The operator works through a web interface on an industrial panel, touch monitor, or workstation.
Machining programs may include G-codes, M-commands, and specialized technological cycles.
The platform is being built not only as an execution control, but also as an engineering environment for development.
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.
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 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.
TRIPET CNC MVP
What has been implemented
Manual and automatic mode, coordinates, axis reference, spindle control, workhead, coolant, air, and tool-change functions.
Web-HMI
Why this matters
TRIPET is a complex machine with several axes and specific grinding technology. Working on it confirms that the platform can address non-trivial tasks.
MWOS Controller
What this does not mean
We do not claim universal out-of-the-box readiness for every machine. The case demonstrates a working base for pilots and further retrofits.
Specifications depend on the concrete machine, controller set, drives, sensors, and retrofit requirements. Below is the current platform level and target development direction.
| Parameter | Current MVP | Target architecture |
|---|---|---|
| Controllers | ESP32 controllers, one controller serves two axes | central motion controller plus I/O boards and converters |
| Program execution | server sends commands and scenarios to controllers | controller locally executes G/M/L commands received from the server |
| Interpolation | up to two axes within one controller | multi-axis interpolation on a central controller after testing of a concrete version |
| Number of axes | multi-axis MVP on TRIPET | project-based: from 2 to 6 main axes plus auxiliary axes and mechanisms |
| Operator interface | browser-based Web-HMI | configurable Web-HMI screens for a specific machine |
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.
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 are set programmatically. The MVP uses speed presets, including values up to 3400 mm/min for some modes.
G/M commands and extended L cycles are supported. Special technological commands and scenarios can be developed for special machines.
The system is intended for axes, encoders, limit switches, reference sensors, relays, valves, coolant, air, spindles, workhead, tool, and external devices.
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.
CNC.VOSCOM.ONLINE is not a serial universal CNC control sold out of the box. Each machine requires inspection, engineering design, adaptation, and testing.
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.
Discuss the task
The site will publish documents about the platform, TRIPET case, architecture, modernization, and preparation of pilot projects.
System description, safety, machine startup and shutdown, axes, interface, manual and automatic modes, G/M commands, technological sections, architecture, and requirements for equipment inspection.
The main work format now is project-based modernization of a specific machine or production line, pilot deployments, and joint platform development.
We study the model, mechanical condition, old control system, axes, drives, sensors, schematics, and technological task.
A format for factories ready to provide a machine or task for joint system development.
Architecture design, hardware modules, installation, server side, Web-HMI, axis tuning, scenarios, tests, and documentation.
We are looking for partners in machine tools, automation, servo drives, control cabinets, metalworking, interfaces, and testing.
Machine or line model, photos of equipment and control cabinet, current problem description, desired result, availability of electrical schematics, axis set, and operations.
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.
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.
