Virtual Manufacturing for Machining Process Monitoring

Abstract:

This paper presents an overall framework of the machining process monitoring system based on virtual manufacturing and does research on its key technology and validates the system with a engraving machine tool. By using of tabletop virtual reality platform Quest 3D, a virtual environment of the machine tool has been created and the machining simulation combined with VC++ has been realized. It has been proved that the simulation and the actual processing interface of monitoring interface are consistent, and the effect is very good. What's more, Using the network module of the virtual reality platform Quest 3D and the additional functions of the database operation, the communications among the machine tools, the server and the client is finished and the manufacturing process monitoring system based on virtual manufacturing is also realized.
