STEP-NC-Compliant Systems for the Manufacturing Environment
Authors: Yusri Yusof
Abstract:
The paper provides a literature review of the STEPNC compliant research around the world. The first part of this paper focuses on projects based on STEP compliance followed by research and development in this area based on machining operations. Review the literature relating to relevant STEP standards and application in the area of turning centers. This research will review the various research work, carried out from the evolution of STEP-NC of the CNC manufacturing activities. The paper concludes with discussion of the applications in this particular area.Keywords: STEP-NC, CNC, Machining and Turning.
