Development of a Digital Machining Information Model to Support a Real-Virtual Machining System

Abstract

In a machining system using computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools, detailed models of machining information are necessary to simulate detailed machining and to control the complex motion of machine tools. However, existing machining information models lack the necessary information and are described in their own formats. Consequently, many models which include the same information exist. Moreover various simulations for a virtual machining system and adaptive control for a real machining system are inacculate. To solve these problems, a digital machining information (DMI) model to support a real-virtual machining system is proposed in this study.

Modeling and Simulation of 3D Surface Finish of Grinding

“…The presented model can be integrated with a digital machining library (e.g., http://www.monozukuri.org/db-dmrc/). From such a library one can download the presented model for human use (research community, industry), for human and machine use (process planning, condition monitoring), or even for machine use (automation, autonomous robots) [12,13,14]. In this respect the presented method is a useful one.…”
