The proposed system enables the operator to control a machine tool using gestures. The developed solution is based on Microsoft Kinect for a Windows v2 sensor with a time-offlight camera. A gesture recognition module was implemented in the VC 760 milling machine with an open control system (O.C.E.A.N.). To conduct tests of the proposed interface, a set of gestures used to control a CNC machine was developed. Furthermore, the concept, the structure of the system and the test results are discussed. In summary, the advantages and potential problems of the proposed control system and plans for future development are discussed.
