A new method based on the design model is raised to detect the collision and pre-check the interference during NC milling machining. A special problem about the construction of a cutter′s swept volume, self-intersection is discussed. All the work on the construction, the subtraction and the display of solids is accomplished with the help of ACIS 3-D modeling.展开更多

Thus, the reduction of the energy consumption in manufacturing fields has been demanded. The energy consumption of NC machine tools has been also focused on. However, the energy consumption of the machine tool motion of each control axis during machining process has not been considered. In this study, we focus on the energy consumption during the machining process and we proposed the simulation model of the energy consumption of the feed drive systems of NC machine tool. Based on the proposed model, the energy consumption during the machining motion was simulated and evaluated. From these results, if the CAD/CAM systems can generate the tool paths considering about the energy consumption of NC machine tools, the energy consumption will be reduced without replacing or overhaul the machine tools.展开更多
