Model representation of workpiece in machining process simulation does directly influence on simulation accuracy and efficiency. The algorithm to acquire cutting width and cutting depth based on quadtree-array representation is discussed in this paper. In milling process simulation, workpiece is represented with quadtree-array and the cutting width and cutting depth are predicted real-time. The results of controlled simulation shows that the predicted cutting depth is accordance with that of the designed and the predicted cutting width is close to that of the designed within accuracy of half a discretization interval.

Combining the machining process simulation on UG NX software and the mathematically analysis, a new solving method for the tooth crest curve equation of spiral bevel gears is proposed in this paper. The steps are as follows:1) Establishing the gear blank cone equation in the original coordinate system; 2) Finding the gear convex and concave profile equations in the new coordinate system; 3) Integrating the original coordinate system and the new one through geometric transformation and then deducing the tooth crest curve equations on both sides. The equations will help calculate the cutter’s position and pose in addendum chamfering process, with the chamfer automation achieved.

Based on Virtual Numerical Control machining system (VNC), a new method of Augmented Numerical Control machining system (ANC) which aims at the realization of NC machining process simulation in real machining environment is put forward. The System inputs continuous video images of real NC processing environment through camera to identify and locate the major machining and positioning parts of real machine in the image stream. And the virtual parts of VNC will be matched to the corresponding real ones of real machining system to achieve the registration of ANC. The NC system drives the virtual machining models for processing through a real machine. On the other hand, the actual running information of CNC machine are imported into the ANC system to drive some models of process variables such as cutting force, material removal rate, chip shape, tool temperature, cutting tool wear. ANC provides the platform to integrate the geometry and physical simulation based on actual information from real CNC machining environment.

Modular integration of sensor based milling process monitoring and control functions to a proposed CNC system architecture is presented. Each sensor based process control algorithm resides in a dedicated processor in the AT bus with a modular software. The CNC system’s motion control module has been designed to accomodate rapid manipulation of feeds, cutting conditions and NC tool path which may be demanded by machining process control modules in real time. Modular integration of adaptive control of cutting forces, tool condition monitoring, chatter detection and suppression tasks are illustrated as examples. The process control and monitoring modules are serviced in the real-time multi-tasking environment within one millisecond time intervals without disturbing the position control system. The paper present constraints and guidelines in designing CNC systems which allow modular integration of user developed real time machining process control and monitoring applications.

Advanced development of computer network through Internet brings the technology to Manufacturing. Increasing the demand for effectively use of the production facility requires the tools for sharing the manufacturing facility by remote operation of the machining process. This paper introduces the methodology of machining technology for direct remote operation of networked milling machine. The tools including virtual simulation using CAD model, remote desktop protocol and Setup Free Attachment for remote operation of milling process are proposed. Accessing and monitoring of machining operation is performed by remote desktop interface and 3D virtual simulations. Capability of remote operation is supported by an auto setup attachment with a reconfigurable pin type setup free technology installed on the table of CNC milling machine to perform unattended machining process. The system is designed using a computer server and connected to a PC based controlled CNC machine for real time monitoring. A client will access the server through internet communication and virtually simulate the machine activity. The result has been presented that combination between real time virtual simulation and remote desktop tool is enabling to operate all machine tool functions and as well as workpiece setup.

Lightweight structures are an important element in today’s production industry. For the multi-axis milling of these structures some aspects have to be considered to achieve a good surface quality and to prevent damaging the milling machine during the machining process. In this article methods to determine suitable feed rates for the milling process, to identify parts of the workpiece with too much heat build-up, and to avoid collisions between workpiece and machine parts are presented. For this purpose a milling simulation based on a multi-dexel field workpiece model has been developed, in which two types of feed rate adaptation have been integrated. Work on a built-in temperature development simulation and collision control is in progress.
