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, and both a virtual machining system and adaptive control for a real machining system are insufficient. To solve these problems, a digital machining information (DMI) model to support a real-virtual machining system is proposed in this study.
