Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the inception and development of a Feature-Based Control System (FBCS) for machining mechanical components, drawing upon the principles of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Real-Time Control System architecture. It presents an overview of the FBCS architecture, focusing on the feature-based approach to machining control, and discusses various aspects such as data representation, planning, machining features, verification, and code generation. The author emphasizes the importance of error prevention in FBCS and discusses techniques used to achieve it. The book also highlights the use of STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product model data) methods and models in the FBCS, providing insights into the role of STEP in feature-based manufacturing. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the development and implementation of a feature-based control system for machining, making it a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the field of computer-integrated manufacturing.
