Simulation of Virtual Machine Tool During the Machine Design

Abstract

This paper deals with the simulation of CNC machine tools. The main focus is to develop a Case Study for a new virtual concept of Horizontal CNC Machine Tool. A virtual Machine Tool uses the main properties of a real machine. The goal is to simulate the functionality of the machine in virtual phases. This method is intended for complex and very expensive machines like Milling and Boring Machine Tools with numerous accessories. The current trend is to sell Machine Tools and equipment with complete technology of machining. Customers prefer a virtual Case Study of CNC technology. The idea of virtual prototyping is realized if the behaviour of the virtual Machine Tool is in compliance with real machine.
