Integrated Modeling for Metal Removal Operations
Abstract
An integrated CAD/CAM and machine tool control system is implemented to automate tool path generation, cutting condition optimization, and online supervisory control for semi-finishing and rough milling. The part is designed using a solid modeler, and tool paths are generated using a CAM system. A process simulator developed at McMaster University is then used to automatically schedule cutting conditions that maximize the Material Removal Rate …
