Title: Direct Generation of NC Program Supporting External-Setup Machining Center Work
Abstract: This paper proposes a new method of generating NC programs in which CAD product data are read directly, geometric data and technological process data are converted into a machine-specific NC program automatically, in a single process. The NC program generated is equipped with a referencing capability, which is essential in an external-setup environment. Implementation at university workshops and in industries has revealed significant practical potential for this method of generating NC programs.
