C.N.C. MACHINE TOOL PROCESS OPTIMISATION FOR INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION

The main objective of this paper is to devise and develop a series of methods in which to make the process of manufacturing automation compatible with the way C.N. machines are programmed and implemented, as efficiently as possible. The paper in particular, looks into two specific methods where N.C. Part -Programs may rapidly be created, optimised and modified, if needed. Two important techniques are introduced: on line dynamic optimisation and real time verification method using computer graphics Tools.
