Abstract

Today's computer aided process planning (CAPP) systems are performing NCprogramming with insufficient consideration of real machine capabilities andresulting workpiece characteristics. Computer numerical controls (CNCs)receive no information about actual workpiece characteristics and appliedmanufacturing processes. Machine and process observations are not closelycoupled to the actual executed machining workingstep. STEP-NC addresses theseproblems by aiming at the availability of higher information content in CNCs.In this paper, a generic approach to preprocess and feed back process datafrom servo drives to CNCs and CAPP systems is presented. This approach restson the application of open digital servo drives in machine tools and thedesign of application-dependent algorithms to process and exchange drivesignals for both, online and offline optimization of machining processes. Theeffects of the proposed methodology on design characteristics of open servodrives and CNC kernels as well as on the data interfaces and communicationprotocols between their modules and CAPP systems are focused on in this paper.The methodologies in this paper are exemplified by their application todrive-spanning process force reconstruction.
