2. PREFACE
This is a short report for a project titled
“Development of Malaysian Affordable
CNC Machines for Education”
accomplished by a Malaysian company,
Akar Indah (AI) Engineering Sdn Bhd in
partnership with Technology Park
Malaysia (TPM) & SIEMENS. This report
will focus on the conversion for a unit of
conventional milling into a basic CNC-
equipped milling machine
The project is accomplished with fund
granted by the Ministry of Science,
Technology & Innovation (MOSTI)

3. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Objective
To develop cost-effective & basic CNC milling machine for
education using existing conventional milling machine
The original location of the machine - Kolej Vokasional Sungai
Petani 1 Sungai Petani, Kedah

4. Technology Park Malaysia (TPM) as the
host & its main partner for the project
SIEMENS became the technology
partner that supplied the project’s
main electrical control system

Table refurbishment
Spindle reconditioning

9. INSTALLATION / RETROFITTING
The dismantling, fabrication & installation process took around 1 month to complete
(started in early November 2014)

10. THE NEW MACHINE
10

11. TRAINING
Training was conducted at Kolej Vokasional Sungai Petani 1
Immediately after installation, important operation & safety guidelines were
briefed & emphasized to the teaching staff & students there 11

12. TRAINING – TRIAL RUN
Hands-on / practical training were also given to the user
12

13. 1) Immediate: Direct hands-on experience for
student on actual fundamental of machine
building work
2) Immediate: Cost saving for government /
college by local retrofit of existing old
conventional machine instead of acquiring new
CNC machine for education purpose (rough
estimation – at least 30% cost saving compared
to new machine with similar capability)
3) Long term: A benchmark blueprint for machine
tools building & to enhance the syllabus of the
new Malaysian’s Vocational System &
Curricular
OUTCOME
13

14. NEXT PHASE – CNC MACHINE VERSION 1.1
New features to be added
Automatic Tool
Changer
Fully enclosed
machine cover
Auto Clamp
Spindle
*next phase is subjected to the approval of Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation 14
