In this two-part paper, a virtual machine tool (VMT) is presented. In part 1, the analytical foundation of a virtual machining system, envisioned as the foundation for a comprehensive simulation environment capable of predicting the outcome of cutting processes, is developed. The VMT system purposes to experience the pseudo-real machining before real cutting with a CNC machine tool, to provide the proper cutting conditions for process planners, and to compensate or control the machining process in terms of the productivity and attributes of products. The attributes can be characterized with the machined surface error, dimensional accuracy, roughness, integrity and so forth. The main components of the VMT are cutting process, application, thermal behavior and feed drive modules. In part 1, the cutting process module is presented. The proposed models were verified experimentally and gave significantly better prediction results than any other method. The thermal behavior and feed drive modules are developed in part 2 paper. The developed models are integrated as a comprehensive software environment in part 2 paper.

This paper considers factory simulation based on shipbuilding CIM in which a computer integrated design and manufacturing system is considered. The author proposes the product model and several alterative functions for designing ship's structure, and develop a ship definition system for computer integrated design and manufacturing. This implemented system is called SODAS (System Of Design and Assembly for Shipbuilding). Object oriented concept is used to develop this system. As well as the product model, the design function cutting function, and virtual assembling function are introduced. By using the design function, any type of ship's structure can be designed. And also factory simulation can be carried out by using the cutting function and virtual assembling function.

Z-map model is the most widely used model for NC simulation and verification. But it has several limitations to get a high precision, to apply 5 axis machining simulation. In this paper, we tried to use quadtree for searching cutting region. Quadtree representation of two dimensional objects is performed with a tree that describes the recursive subdivision. By using these quadtree model. storage requirements were reduced. And also, recursive subdivision was processed in the boundries, so, useless computation could be reduced, too. To get more high Accuracy, we applied the supersampling method in the boundaries. The Supersampling method is the most common form of the antialiasing and usually used with polygon mesh rendering in computer graphics To verify quadtree model we compared simulated results with z-map model and enhanced z-map model

On-machine measuring system of Numerically Control(NC) machines permit computer control of basic material cutting processes of moulds. A part of mould designed within a CAD/CAM system can be manufactured by generation of tool paths by the measuring systems. Since the three-dimensional geometry by AutoCAD of the part is contained in the data base, the manufacturing specialist combined with the appropriate software simulation, can not only create the commands to drive the virtual measuring and standardization of measuring modules but also can check for mistakes by viewing the computer graphics simulation of the tool cutting sequence.

In this paper, we investigate path compensation scheme for the machining errors due to tool deflection in 2D contour machining. The significance of the deflection error is first shown by experiments, and a direct compensation scheme is sought. In the presented scheme, the tool path is evaluated and correcte based on the instantaneous deflection force model, until the desired contour can be obtained under the presence of tool deflection in actual machining. In the sense that the developed method estimates and compensates the machining errors via modifying the tool path, it is distinguished from the previous approach based on geometric simulation and cutting simulation. Further, it can be viewed as a direct and active method toward direct shape control in CNC machining. Simulation results are included to show the validity and adequacy of the path-modification scheme under various cutting conditions.

Digital manufacturing is a technology to simulate the real manufacturing process using the virtual model representing the physical schema and the behavior of the real manufacturing system including resources, processes and product information. Therefore, it can optimize the manufacturing system or prevent the bottleneck processes through the simulation before the manufacturing plan is executed. This study presents a method to apply the digital manufacturing technology for the steel cutting process in shipyard. The system modeling of cutting shop is carried out using the IDEF and UML which is a visual modeling language to document the artifacts of a complex system. Also, virtual NC simulators of the cutting machines are constructed to emulate the real operation of cutting machines and NC codes. The simulators are able to verify the cutting shape and estimate the precise cycle time of the planned NC codes. The validity of the virtual model is checked by comparing the real cutting time and shape with the simulated results. It is expected that the virtual NC simulators can be used for accurate estimation of the cutting time and shape in advance of real cutting work.

High-efficiency and high-quality machining has become a fact of life for numerous machine shops in recent years. And high-efficiency machining is the most significant tool to enhance productivity. In this study, to achieve high-efficiency machining in turning process, a spindle speed optimization method was proposed based on a cutting power model. The cutting force and power were estimated from the cutting parameters such as specific cutting force, feed, depth of cut, and spindle speed. The time delay due to the acceleration or deceleration of spindle was considered to predict a more accurate machining time. Especially, the good agreement between the predicted and measured cutting forces showed the reliability of the proposed optimization method, and the effectiveness of the proposed optimization method was demonstrated through the simulation results associated with the productivity enhancement in turning process

This paper presents a tool-path generation methods for an automated robotic system for skull drilling, which is performed to access to some neurosurgical interventions. The path controls of the robotic system are classified as move, probe, cut, and poke motions. The four motions are the basic motion elements of the tool-paths to make a hole on a skull. Probing, rough cutting and fine cutting paths are generated for skull drilling. For the rough cutting path circular paths are projected on the offset surfaces of the outer top and the inner bottom surfaces of the skull. The projected paths become the paths on the top and bottom layers of the rough cutting paths. The two projected paths are blended for the paths on the other layers. Syntax of the motion commands for a file format is also suggested for the tool-paths. Implementation and simulation results show that the possibility of the proposed methods.

This paper suggests generalize mathematica mode for the benefit of volumetric error analysis of a multi-axis machine tool machining a sculptured surfaces. The volumetric error, in this paper, is defined as a three dimensional error at the cutting point, which is caused by the geometric errors and the kinematic errors of each axis and alignment errors of the cutting tool. The actual cutting position is analyzed based on the form shaping model including a geometric error of the moving carriage, where a form shaping model is derived from the homogeneous transformation matrix. Then the volumetric error is obtained by calculating the position difference between the actual cutting position and the ideal one calculated from a Nonuniform Rational B-Spline named as NURES. The simulation study shows the effectiveness for predicting the behavior of machining error and for the method of error compensation.
