“…In 2002, research and development in terms of manufacturing technology and processes began with a proposal for the conceptual framework for designing and implementing an intelligent CNC system by Suh and Sheon [6], followed by Hardwick providing the first outlook on STEP-NC compliant manufacturing [7]. Lee and Bang have successfully developed and built a five-axis milling machine that is run by STEP-NC in XML [8] and another prototype system has been proposed by Newman et al for a STEPcompliant CAD/CAM system based on one of these frameworks using the new ISO 14649 standard for milling components [9]. Finally test and validation methods have been proposed for testing data for numerical control [10].…”

This research work was motivated by industrial requirements of concurrent engineering, standard product data models and an integrated manufacturing environment, which are further reflected in process planning. The work can be elaborated as the information modeling in this area addresses the problem of capturing and representing manufacturing information related to resources and processes. The interaction between the different types of models could provide a description of the products, how they should be manufactured, and what manufacturing resources should be used. This would provide an information platform upon which several different computer-based tools to support the innovation process can be built. The major contribution of this paper is the creation of a computational environment for a STEP-NC compliant system for turning operations namely SCSTO. SCSTO was developed to generate a Part 21 file based on machining features to support the interactive generation of process plans utilizing feature extraction. The system was constructed using a structured methodology for its planning and object-oriented methods for its implementation. A case study component was tested to show that the new approach (STEP-NC) can generate code which is comparable to the currently used G-code with some benefits such as the elimination of the post-processor. Efforts are under way to fulfill the STEP-NC challenge by combining Parts 11 and 12, for turn/mill operations. STEP-NC forms a possible basis to satisfy the latest requirements and demands with respect to a bi-directional CAx process chain for machining. STEP-NC forms a possible basis to satisfy the latest requirements and demands with respect to a bi-directional CAx process chain for machining. It is expected that the recommended future extensions will enhance the usefulness of this paper, and will meet the requirements for global interoperable manufacturing for real-life parts.

“…This supports the statement that STEP-NC is firm to substitute G-codes and enable all data integration from any CAD/CAM systems. Lee et al [34] develop a PC-based open architecture milling machine, run by STEP-NC and claim that the design can be easily expanded and modified. It was also stated that it is possible to implement the STEP-NC system directly to any commercial machine tools.…”

Abstract-The demand of integrating manufacturing design and process planning with actual production activities such as cutting tool information is essential to enhance planning efficiency as well as improve simulation accuracy. However, cutting tools information that involves static and dynamic data is difficult to track causing the planning and simulation activities to be isolated, using outdated information and lack of reliability. This paper presents the initial functions of an Integrated Cutting Tool Management and Monitoring system (ICTMMs) utilizing RFID technology. RFID is used as a device to identify individual cutting tool as well as to track cutters data at production floor. Integration is possible with the use of STEP-NC as the exchange data format. User interface is designed using Labwindows. General overview are discussed based on STEP-NC input file. The development of ICTMMs helps to simplify management of cutting tool at production floor and support the integration of tool information throughout the manufacturing chain.Keyword-Tool management, RFID, STEP-NC I. INTRODUCTION Integrated manufacturing environment involves continuous interaction of various computer-aided (CAx) systems functions to ensure full information can be utilized in assisting various manufacturing activities. For example, during production planning activities, cutting tools data is essential for effective machining operation which is normally obtained beforehand based on operator's experience, catalogues or any theoretical documents. Following that, a complete product data is supplied to Virtual Machining System (VMS) to be verified through computer simulation, before the actual machining commences. Accurate machining simulation requires not only planned cutting tools details, but demands tools' information portraying true production floor data. The reliability of the simulation results therefore, depends on the information supply from CAx system with verification from production floor.Unfortunately, information supply regarding cutting tools from production floor is still insufficient since cutters are hardly being tracked and traced. This is also due to the weakness of traditional information management method in managing static and dynamic data of the cutting tools. Static data refers to the specification details of the cutting tools located at the production floor. Currently, cutting tools are available in various types and multiple functions. High amount of individual cutting tools in production floor results in an increase of difficulty in handling these cutters' information. Thus, performing inventory control is a big challenge in order to ensure accurate selection of tools in terms of its type, geometry, and expected tool life. On the other hand, dynamic data refers to the information of cutting tool that changes over its usage within certain period of time. One example of dynamic data is tool life where it decreases after being used when performing any machining operation. Since tool life is important to determine the e...
