I. Yellowley et Pr. Pottier, THE INTEGRATION OF PROCESS AND GEOMETRY WITHIN AN OPEN-ARCHITECTURE MACHINE-TOOL CONTROLLER, International journal of machine tools & manufacture, 34(2), 1994, pp. 277-293
The authors discuss in detail the anticipated future requirements of a
n advanced control for metal cutting machine tools; of particular inte
rest is the integration of process monitoring and optimization with th
e normal processes of interpolation and axis control. A detailed discu
ssion of the philosophy underlying the development of the UBC open arc
hitecture machine tool controller and its current capabilities is also
presented.
