Abstract:
Virtual machine tools (VMT) technology is one of the main enabling technologies of virtual manufacturing technology and is paid great attention to by researchers throughout world. Based on it's foundational function, virtual machine tools and it's architecture are investigated and a modeling method of virtual machine tools is proposed. It's key technologies such as NC program translator, NC program checking technology, tool library management, VRML based CAD interface, and stock discretization and cutting simulation etc are researched.
Key words:
Virtual machine tools NC code translating Machining simulation
