Abstract:
-
Computer representations for machine tools, cutting tools, and associated
hardware are used within a variety of manufacturing software applications.
Currently there is no agreed-upon mechanism for representing such
manufacturing resource data and as a result this information is individually
entered and maintained on multiple systems within a single manufacturing
facility. A manufacturing resource representation which could be shared among
manufacturing software applications would be of great benefit to both the
users of the software and the vendors of the software. Through rigorous
analysis of the manufacturing resource requirements of manufacturing software
and existing resource representations, a unified manufacturing resource
representation is proposed which supports common milling, drilling, and
turning processes.
