The computer numerical control machine tools, or CNC machine tools, emerged due to the need of the aviation industry to produce increasingly complex and accurate parts. The retrofitting of machine tools is the modification of a traditional machine for a computer numerical control one. Due to the popularization of computers, electronic components decreased costs, Internet expansion and open source projects, the retrofitting has become increasingly widespread in industry as an option for the purchase of new machine tools with CNC included. The objective of this study was to implement the retrofit on a 3-axis machine from the Precision Engineering Laboratory of the Federal University of Paraíba. For this adaptation, the machine has been modified to use a kit with interface drivers from HobbyCNC and new stepper motors. After the retrofit, it used a 80-XL Laser system for measuring position errors. The tests were performed on each axis, commanding the machine to five positions and measuring the actual positions reached and, then, the same tests were carried out in reverse direction. With the measured results, the positioning errors, hysteresis, repeatability and accuracy calculated by ISO 230-2 standard. It was conducted other tests in compensating the previously measured errors on the Y axis. There was a significant improvement on the Y-axis accuracy after compensation. Also, angular errors tests were carried out, with the use of an electronic level Talyvel 5, along the axis Y. The results of the test were satisfactory and the retrofitting reached its expectations, providing the possibility of further research in the area of numerical control.
