Intelligent Machine Tool: New Manual Programming Techniques

摘要

Modern CNC machine tools constitute advanced mechatronic systems. Numerous works are undertaken on the development of new intelligent control systems for CNC machine tools. [1-5] equipped with unique diagnostic systems. One of the development directions of CNC control systems is exploring new forms and techniques of operator-machine communication as well as new, simpler machine tool programming, procedures. Nowadays, there are many techniques for programming CNC machine tools[6], [7]. These techniques have taken a variety of forms both due to historical limits of technology and various environmental requirements. Despite the existence of complex control systems for operation and programming CNC machine tools or CAD/CAM systems facilitating the generation of a machining strategy for complicated elements, there is a demand for machine tools that are easier to operate, and therefore do not require advanced programming skills for operation.
