Abstract
In recent years, an attempt of intelligent machine tool using open CNC unit and network communication has been discussing. The development of sharing the machine tool and product information is progressing. We are aiming at the development of the machining agent system that has the database of machining condition, process design and so on, and can treat various information through the network. The machining agent system can perform self-machining by inputting only 3D-CAD data. This paper describes the outline of the system including the development of module software for generating NC data based on the 3D-CAD data transmitted through the network.
