A lathe operator's performance and safety are improved with a high speed camera. Still images show stock surface finish and tool position without stopping the machine. An FPGA monitors the spindle quadrature encoder and trigger's a camera at an angular position set by the operator. Presented using LinuxCNC and a Mesa 7i76e card.
Lathe spindle encoder installation: youtu.be/0nCH2G9oAmU
Chapters
00:00 Introduction and discussion
05:50 Review of FPGA VHDL design
10:33 Longer cut example
FPGA: Terasic DE0-Nano evaluation board (Intel Altera Cyclone IV)
Camera: acA4112-30uc - Basler ace
Lens: Schneider Xenoplan 2.8/50
