Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 機械與精密工程研究所 === 101 === Multi-axis machine tools and mill-turn machine tools have been used in aerospace, molding, biomedical, automobile industry and other manufacturing industries with complex surfaces, and play an important role. However, due to the expensive price, the demand of manufacturers use CAD/CAM software to simulate the actual machining process also increased, so applying virtual reality technology to the virtual machine tool machining simulation system development has gradually been paid great attention resulting in the development of machine tool manufacturers in recent years. Because the structure and motion of multi-axis machine tools and mill-turn machine tools are complicated, operation and training the high cost equipment is a burden, for general education institutions, it has also negative influences for machine tool builders willing to participate in multi-axis machine tools and mill-turn machine tools development. In addition, the majority of users and learners do not really understand the operation of multi-axis and mill-turn machine tools, and using NC code correctly in the actual machine, therefore collision by inexperienced person might happen with high risk. In summary, this research made use of Visual Studio C # programming language and integrated EON Virtual Reality technology, converting the actual machine drawing files designed in SolidWorks and developed PCNC (Personal Computer Numeric Control) framework. With real-time monitoring of processing center, integrated several virtual machine tool controller’s human-machine interface in different virtual machines, accomplished realistic machine motion simulation system to assist the expensive machinery teaching and training; its functions of teaching and training systems include selecting a different configuration of virtual machine tools and virtual controller panel, simulating machine motion and controller panel operation, NC programming machining operations and machining motion simulation, verification of the machining processing before actual machining, and collision detection. Finally, the author expects this system can be used to assist learning and can enhance users’ and learners’ understanding of CNC machine tools, to fully understanding the advanced operation of the real machine tools.
