STEP NCTool path programming in an intelligent Step NC Manufacturing Context Adopted and edited from a presentation made by: Rapha?l LAGUIONIE - Matthieu RAUCH – Jean-Yves HASCOET Institut Recherche Communications Cybernetique Nantes (IRCCyN) France. Scope Introduction Applications Step_NC: A new approach Lacks of curent G-code A new vision: Step_NC Machining strategies in a Step_NC file The Korean Step_NC prototype Pattern strategies A new method to build toolpaths Proposition of integration in Step_NC standard Validation of the proposition Implementation in PosSFP (Shop Floor Programming System) Development of a Step_NC numerical chain From the CAD model to the machined part… Conclusion Introduction The STEP-NC AP238 Standard The STEP-NC AP238 standard is the result of a ten year international effort to replace the RS274D (ISO 6983) M and G code standard with a modern associative language that connects the CAD design data used to determine the machining requirements for an operation with the CAM process data that solves those requirements. Enabling e-Manufacturing for Mechanical Parts STEP-NC allows manufacturing organizations to seamlessly share machining and measurement information between machines and over the Internet. The emerging STEP-NC technology is yielding process improvements including a 15% reduction in machining time. The automated measurement and compensation enabled by STEP-NC promises to yield parts that meet higher accuracy requirements for less cost. The integrated simulation and verification enabled by STEP-NC promises to guarantee that every part will be made correctly and that production will stop whenever cuts are about to be made that do not meets design requirements.
