Abstract

This paper presents a new programming approach based on a proposed hardware and control architecture for the reconfigurable manufacturing tool machine. A new CAM is described based on virtual machining algorithm that optimizes feedrate scheduling based on geometric simulation and aims to improve the efficiency of cutting process developed using a reconfigurable machine, configured as lathe with a specific architecture. A searching procedure is proposed to find the parameter values corresponding to cutter locations along tool path during generation of the final surface.
