AB  - Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machine has been widely used in the industries since its
development. Today in industry CNC technology has been used for various operations like milling, drilling,
packing, welding etc. With the rapid growth in the manufacturing world the demand of flexibility in the CNC
machines had been increased. The commercial CNC was fail to provide flexibility because its structure was
found to be of closed nature which does not provide access to inner features of the CNC. Apart from that the
ISO data interface model of commercial CNC is found to be limited. In order to overcome these issues, Open
Architecture Control (OAC) technology and STEP-NC data interface model was introduced. At present, the
Personal Computer (PC) has been the best platform for the development of open-CNC system. In this study,
a new approach of modern CNC development has been presented that utilized motion control card, universal
motion control interface and various functional modules (developed on virtual componenet technology
platform) for position, spindle and tool changer motion control. The system was experimentally tested on old
3 axis CNC milling machine and found to be useful to enable sustainable manufacturing environment.
