Abstract
Precision
machining processes have many unique aspects that need to be well characterized
before automation strategies can be implemented. Quite often, the characteristics
of precision machining processes significantly differ from conventional
machining processes. Therefore, open architecture (OA) control systems,
with its flexibility, adaptability to changes, and coherence to system
integration, is a perfect candidate for automating precision manufacturing
systems. In this research, detail issues in the implementation of an
OA system in precision manufacturing is studied from hardware level
to process planning strategies.
