Full textAbstract:
Materials which are both lighter and stronger have faced an increased demand over the past decades to fulfil the requirements across a range of industrial applications. More specifically, demands for titanium alloys have increased significantly due to its high strength to weight ratio which is particularly attractive for increasing fuel efficiency in aircrafts and cars and is also used in biomedical implants. Despite the increasing demand for titanium made products, machining titanium alloys remains a significant challenge. High material strength and hardness lead to excessive heat generation at the cutting zone which accumulates and results in high cutting temperatures due to the poor thermal conductivity. The high cutting temperatures together with inherent material properties of titanium are responsible for short tool life and poor surface finish. Despite the environmental and health drawbacks, a generous amount of cutting fluids is commonly used to control the cutting temperature in machining titanium alloys. However, conventional cutting fluids evaporate at high cutting temperatures which isolate the cutting zone by forming a vapour cushion resulting in further increases in cutting temperatures. This research investigates the effects of cryogenic cooling on machinability of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in CNC milling as compared to conventional dry and wet machining environments. Two literature reviews were conducted and a methodology has been developed and implemented consisting of three experimental stages of i) design and manufacture of a cryogenic cooling system, ii) comparative study of cryogenic cooling with dry and wet machining and iii) optimisation of cutting parameters for cryogenic machining. The major contribution of this research can be summarised as design, realisation and assessment of a novel cryogenic cooling system for CNC milling, termed cryogenic shower, which is retrofitable to an existing CNC machining centre. In addition, the research provides a thorough study on the effects of cryogenic cooling on machinability of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in comparison with dry and wet machining. The studies range from power consumption and tool wear through to surface topography and surface integrity. Furthermore, the optimum cutting parameters for cryogenic machining are identified. The research demonstrates that using the cryogenic shower has significantly improved machinability of Ti-6Al-4V through realisation of higher material removal rates, reduced tool wear and improved surface finish, surface topography and surface integrity.

Full textAbstract:
Consumption of energy is a key medium through which humans adversely affect their environment. Sustainable transition in the scale and composition of total primary energy demand in the 21st century is also a requirement for sustainable development of human civilisations in the face of diminishing resources of fossil fuels. One possible approach to reducing energy consumption is the energy efficient utilisation of existing energy consuming systems. This approach is less costly and time consuming than replacing the existing systems with new energy efficient ones. In addition to that, methods developed through this approach can, in principal form, be applied to more efficient future generations of systems too. Information about a quantitative measure of energy efficiency at different states of operation of a system can be utilised for optimisation of its energy consumption through computation of its most efficient state(s) of operation subject to a given set of constraints. The main contribution of this research is to develop a novel mechanistic model for energy consumption of a CNC machine tool, as an energy consuming system, in order to analytically construct a mathematical relationship between the machine tool’s overall power consumption and its operating parameters, i.e., spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The analytically derived formula is experimentally validated for the case of straight slut milling of aluminium on a 3-axis CNC milling machine. The research provides evidence for substantial performance improvement in the case of the mechanistic model developed here in comparison with the currently most widely used model for energy consumption of CNC milling machines, i.e., Gutowski et al. 2006, through further analysis of the empirical data acquired during the validation experiments.

Full textAbstract:
In recent decades there has been a rapid development of technology in manufacturing industries, in particular through the increasing use of ever more powerful and sophisticated Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machines to manufacture complex parts. These machines are supported by a chain of computer based software solutions amongst which manufacturing information is exchanged. With the need for information exchange, interoperability between various computer-aided systems (CAx) has become an important research area. In CNC part programing, innovations by various hardware manufacturers and their reflection in their software have led to the necessity for the existence of different part programs for each machine. Creating these is a time consuming and economically inefficient activity. Implementing genuine interoperability between CNC machines is a way of eliminating this deficiency but, to achieve this, CNC programmers must be able to write a CNC program for a specific machine and effortlessly convert that program to work for other machines. The aim of this research was to enable the exchange of CNC programmes across machines with different technologies and demonstrate this between a C-axis CNC turn-mill machine and a 4-axis CNC machining centre. This has been achieved by designing a cross-technology interoperability framework that is capable of supporting systems that can work with the different types of CNC machines. This framework is the core contribution to knowledge from this PhD research. In order to fully identify the context for the research, this thesis presents a review of existing literature on machining of turn-mill parts and interoperability for CNC manufacturing. This is followed by the specification and realisation of a novel framework for cross-technology interoperability for CNC manufacturing. The demonstration is conducted using test components that can be manufactured using different CNC technologies.

Full textAbstract:
The trends of rapid manufacturing (RM) have influenced numerous developments of technologies mainly in additive processes. However, the material compatibility and accuracy problems of additive techniques have limited the ability to manufacture end-user products. More established manufacturing methods such as Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machining can be adapted for RM under some circumstances. The use of a 3-axis CNC milling machine with an indexing device increases tool accessibility and overcomes most of the process constraints. However, more work is required to enhance the application of CNC for RM, and this thesis focuses on the improvement of roughing and finishing operations and the integration of cutting tools in CNC machining to make it viable for RM applications. The purpose of this research is to further adapt CNC machining to rapid manufacturing, and it is believed that implementing the suggested approaches will speed up production, enhance part quality and make the process more suitable for RM. A feasible approach to improving roughing operations is investigated through the adoption of different cutting orientations. Simulation analyses are performed to manipulate the values of the orientations and to generate estimated cutting times. An orientations set with minimum machining time is selected to execute roughing processes. Further development is carried out to integrate different tool geometries; flat and ball nose end mill in the finishing processes. A surface classification method is formulated to assist the integration and to define the cutting regions. To realise a rapid machining system, the advancement of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is exploited. This allows CNC process planning to be handled through customised programming codes. The findings from simulation studies are supported by the machining experiment results. First, roughing through four independent orientations minimized the cutting time and prevents any susceptibility to tool failure. Secondly, the integration of end mill tools improves surface quality of the machined parts. Lastly, the process planning programs manage to control the simulation analyses and construct machining operations effectively.

The field of numerically controlled (NC) machining has long been interested with predicting and measuring the errors in machining. Creating a simulation of NC machining is one way of achieving this. This thesis presents one such implementation of an NC simulation. It also runs a number of numerical and physical tests to verify the simulation?s correctness. The numerical tests show that the simulator work correctly as well as providing guide lines for appropriate simulation parameters. The physical tests show that the results of the simulation match the results of real NC machines. It is hoped that this thesis can provide a guide for the creation of machining simulators and their verification.

Full textAbstract:
The intent of the thesis is to automate the generation of computer numerical control (CNC) codes from geometrical computer-aided design (CAD) models. The work is carried out using two machines, the MDX 40A milling machine, and the HAAS VM3 machine. The case study is to determine the potential in automating the code generation process. The empirical findings from the research studies reveal that the manual process for programming the codes for the models pose a challenge of consuming more time using the procedures in computer-aided manufacturing and manual operations performed by a programmer. One crucial factor to meet these requirements is the productivity of the machining process. Design automation for machining is the potent tool to increase productivity in this process. The main methods used in the study to fulfill the main objective of the thesis are addressed. The programming of the code is automated for these two machines and the outcome is compared with the manual approach. The need of automating the codes is to provide better accuracy and efficiency. Further, automation is beneficial as it increases the capability to accommodate the new changes in the design of the model. The conclusion drawn from the results of the study is that the automation for code programming results in increasing the speed of the machining process by reducing time consumption. Though the approach of automating codes is carried out for two machines, the potential of this approach is that the code generation process is not dependant on the post-processor of any specific machineThe Master Thesis (Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering)

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2001.Includes bibliographical references (p. 181-188).
Free-form surface machining is a fundamental but time-consuming process in modern manufacturing. The central question we ask in this thesis is how to reduce the time that it takes for a 5-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling machine to sweep an entire free-form surface in its finishing stage. We formulate a non-classical variational time-optimization problem defined on a 2-dimensional manifold subject to both equality and inequality constraints. The machining time is the cost functional in this optimization problem. We seek for a preferable vector field on a surface to obtain skeletal information on the toolpaths. This framework is more amenable to the techniques of continuum mechanics and differential geometry rather than to path generation and conventional CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing) theory. After the formulation, this thesis derives the necessary conditions for optimality. We decompose the problem into a series of optimization problems defined on 1-dimensional streamlines of the vector field and, as a result, simplify the problem significantly. The anisotropy in kinematic performance has a practical importance in high-speed machining. The greedy scheme, which this thesis implements for a parallel hexapod machine tool, uses the anisotropy for finding a preferable vector field.
(cont.) Numerical integration places tool paths along its integral curves. The gaps between two neighboring toolpaths are controlled so that the surface can be machined within a specified tolerance. A conservation law together with the characteristic theory for partial differential equations comes into play in finding appropriately-spaced toolpaths, avoiding unnecessarily-overlapping areas. Since the greedy scheme is based on a local approximation and does not search for the global optimum, it is necessary to judge how well the greedy paths perform. We develop an approximation theory and use it to economically evaluate the performance advantage of the greedy paths over other standard schemes. In this thesis, we achieved the following two objectives: laying down the theoretical basis for surface machining and finding a practical solution for the machining problem. Future work will address solving the optimization problem in a stricter sense.

The mathematical model for the feed drive control system, which consists of a motion controller, power amplifiers and DC-servo motors, is developed and experimentally verified. A method of estimating cutting forces from current drawn by feed drive motors is developed. The viability of the current sensor as a feeding-force sensing component is illustrated and experimentally tested on the milling machine. Successful
application of the current sensor to tool breakage detection in milling operation is presented. The performance of the multi-axis contouring system in precision machining is discussed. The contouring errors induced by feed drive positioning systems in CNC machine tools is investigated using the state space model of the CNC system. The influence

Full textAbstract:
To further the research done in machining complex surfaces, Jensen [1993] developed an algorithm that matches the normal curvature at a point along the surface with the resultant radius formed by tilting a standard flat end mill. The algorithm called Curvature Matched Machining (CM2) is faster and more efficient than conventional three-axis machining [Jensen 1993, Simpson 1995 & Kitchen 1996]. Despite the successes of CM2 there are still many areas available for research. Consider the machining of a mold or die. The complex nature of a mold requires at least 20-30 weeks of lead time. Of those 20-30 weeks 50% is spent in machining. Of that time 50-65% is spent in rough machining. For a mold or die that amounts to 7 to 8 weeks of rough machining. If one could achieve as much as a 10-15% reduction in machining time that would amount to almost one week worth of time savings. As can be seen, small improvements in time and efficiency for rough machining can yield significant results [Fallbohmer 1996]. This research developed an algorithm that focused on reducing the overall machining time for parts and surfaces. Particularly, the focus of this research was within rough machining. The algorithm incorporated principles of three-axis rough cutting with five-axis CM2, hence Rough Curvature Matched Machining (RCM2). In doing so, the algorithm ‘morphed‘ planar machining slices to the semi-roughed surface allowing the finish pass to be complete in one pass. This roughing algorithm has significant time-savings over current roughing techniques.

Full textAbstract:
Titanium and its alloys are widely used in various engineering applications such as aerospace, biomedical and chemical industries due to their excellent combination of high strength-to weight ratio and good creep, corrosion and fracture resistance. However, these desirable design properties pose a serious challenge to the manufacturing engineers owing to the high temperatures and stresses generated during the machining of titanium alloys. The extremely low thermal conductivity of titanium alloys results in concentration of high temperature close to the tool cutting edge resulting in accelerated thermochemical and mechanical tool wear. Many cooling and lubricating techniques such as high pressure cooling (HPC), minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and cryogenic machining have been proposed for improving the machinability of titanium alloys. In this study, a hybrid combination of MQL and cryogenic cooling using liquid nitrogen (LN2) is proposed, designed and manufactured as an innovative cooling/lubricating approach for CNC end milling of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy. The machining performance of the new hybrid cooling/lubrication technique is investigated in terms of tool wear and surface finish and compared to that of flood cooling, MQL and cryogenic cooling. The proposed hybrid cooling/lubrication technique demonstrated the best machining performance among all cooling/lubricating conditions and recorded more the 30 fold increased tool life over conventional flood cooling. In addition, 28% reduction in surface roughness was recorded for hybrid cooling/lubrication method as compared to flood cooling. The improvement in surface roughness was 50% for MQL when compared to flood cooling. The outstanding improvement in tool life with hybrid cooling/lubricating strategies is encouraging for the wide spread of this cooling/lubricating technique for industrial adoption.

Full textAbstract:
Machine tool vibration is a complex subject requiring a multi-disciplinary approach involving the identification and analysis of the vibration sources and characteristics, as well as its direct and indirect effects. Machine tool vibration is influenced and can be characterised by the machine's structural dynamics, the drive system performance and the cutting force generation. Its effect materialises in the form of poor surface finish of the workpiece, accelerated cuttingtool wear, and chatter during the machining process. This research project investigates vibration-induced errors on a Cincinnati Arrow 500 CNC vertical machining centre under dynamic conditions. Analyses and identifications of suitable experimental configurations for modal analysis and cutting process investigations are carried out to determine the most appropriate techniques for the aforementioned processes. The results are compiled into recommended metrology practices for determining the vibration modes. State-of-the-art practices are employed in the study to formulate and validate a machine tool axis drive model to examine the drive's individual element effects on the overall dynamic performance. The feasibility of an active control vibration technique employing the drive is also investigated. The hybrid modelling technique incorporating a new digital current control loop developed using the power system blockset and field-oriented control strategy was employed to construct the model. Analytical and experimental techniques for the validation of the digital drive system's position, velocity and current control loops utilising deterministic and non-deterministic signals from the internal machine drive system functions are also devised. The majority of machine tool vibration is generated while the machining process is taking place. Thus, the analysis and in-depth study of the machining process plays an important role in the investigation of machine tool vibration. In this study, vibration models of the cutting tool and workpiece are formulated and incorporated with an advanced cutting force generation model to create a machining process model constructed as part of an EPSRC project collaboration. The model is validated using various machining process conditions and correlated with the workpiece surface finish analysed using state-of-the-art 3D surface topography technique to identify salient vibration effects. In this study, a model of the machine structural dynamics is constructed using the Finite Element Method (FEM) for the comprehensive analytical investigation of the machine vibration behaviour accurately. The analytical model is validated against the measured results from the experimental modal analysis investigation obtained using the appropriate technique. Correlation analysis of the simulated and experimental modal analysis results is performed in order to improve the accuracy of the model and minimise modelling practice errors. The resulting optimised model then undergoes sensitivity analysis through parametric structural analysis and characterisation technique in order to identify potential vibration reduction technique by the passive methods.

The paper will report on progress made in a specific focus area in mould-making, namely Hybrid Moulds for injection moulding. Hybrid Moulds refers to a hybrid between Additive Fabrication and conventional methods through the use of amongst others, Direct Metal Laser Sintering techniques, combined with conventional CNC machining (High Speed) techniques. Although the emphasis is on an economically viable process for limited production runs, once the moulds have been developed, it normally is pushed to its limits to realize production quantities. One of the competitive edges is the cutting of lead-times, which obviously impacts on production costs. Another aspect is the ability to manufacture short runs of injection moulded parts in the required engineering material Realising that Laser Sintering of metals is an expensive manufacturing process, a concurrent manufacturing process was developed. Intricate mould details, which normally are time-consuming to manufacture through EDM processes, were grown as inserts, while the less-complex parts of the mould is machined in Aluminium through 3 and 5 Axis High Speed CNC Machining. Using a 3-axis CNC wire cutter, pockets will be created where the more complex Laser Sintered Metal inserts will be fitted. One of the competitive edges is the cutting of lead-times, which obviously impacts on production costs.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThe use of computer resources for machinery programming with Computer Numeric Control (CNC) has become increasingly more necessary in manufacturing companies. The objective is to reduce unproductive time, to optimize programming process, to decrease possibility of error caused by manual programming and to decrease the time that the machine is not being used. Softwares employed for the programming of CNC machines, known as CAM, are programs that, among other functions, enable the automatic generation of CNC programs, through the calculus of the tool path, from the geometric representation of the available part in computer systems presented virtually. When their integration occurs, we obtain CAD/CAM systems that currently, due to the great advance of technologies, help the creation of shapes and the handling of dimensions, thus enabling the programming of several kinds of numerically-driven equipment. Due to a great array of resources offered by these programs, its cost is high. Therefore, the purchase of these programs by companies is impracticable. In addition, these companies do not need all the great array of resources to deal with low complexity geometry. By considering these aspects, the objective of this study is to develop a low-cost CAD/CAM integrated methodology to apply in fixed cycles for milling and drilling, existing in the numeric comand of machine tools. In order to analyze the technique, a system using a CAD software was designed. Through its optimization resources, routines for programming fixed cycles of a machine tool (milling) with three-axle programmable CNC were created. The results demonstrated viability of this proposal as it was possible to obtain a CAD/CAM system for specific application.
A utilização de recursos computacionais para a programação de máquinas com Comando Numérico Computadorizado (CNC) tem se tornado cada vez mais necessária nas empresas de manufatura. Esses recursos permitem a redução dos tempos improdutivos, a otimização do processo de programação, a diminuição da possibilidade de erro causado pela programação manual e do tempo de máquina parada. Os softwares utilizados para a programação de máquinas CNCs, conhecidos pela sigla CAM (Manufatura assistida por computador), são programas que, entre outras funções, possibilitam a geração automática de programas CNC através do cálculo do caminho da ferramenta, a partir da representação geométrica da peça disponível na forma virtual em sistemas computacionais de auxilio ao projeto CAD (desenho assistido por computador). Da integração desses sistemas, têm-se os sistemas CAD/CAM, que hoje, devido ao avançado grau de desenvolvimento das tecnologias, auxiliam na criação de formas e manipulação de dimensões possibilitando a programação de diversos tipos de equipamentos comandados numericamente. Devido à gama de recursos oferecida por esses programas, seu custo é elevado, o que torna sua aquisição inviável para pequenas empresas, que, muitas vezes, não necessitam de todos esses recursos por trabalharem com geometria de pouca complexidade. Levando em consideração esses aspectos, o objetivo deste trabalho é desenvolver uma metodologia de integração CAD/CAM de baixo custo para aplicação de ciclos fixos para usinagem em fresamento e furação, existentes no comando numérico de máquinas-ferramenta. Para analisar a técnica, foi desenvolvido um sistema utilizando um software de CAD, a partir do qual, através de seus recursos de otimização e automatização, foram criadas rotinas para programação dos ciclos fixos de uma fresadora CNC de 3 eixos programáveis. Os resultados demonstraram a viabilidade dessa proposta, pois foi possível obter um sistema CAD/CAM para aplicação específica.

In this research we consider two different approaches for microfabricating physical templates to be used in template directed colloidal self-assembly experiments. Fabrication of templates, usable with confocal microscopy, forms an essential part of observation and analysis of template directed colloidal self-assembly studies. We use existing laboratory based microfabrication methods for patterning thin glass coverslips and polymeric films. These templates when used for directing colloidal self-assembly along with confocal microscopy analysis provide us with relevant information on the effect of confined geometries of the template on particle packing and order.
The first method of template fabrication involves ultraviolet photolithography, thin film deposition, and glass micro machining. Various stages of the process were optimized while selecting reactive ion etch (RIE) and nickel etch mask with a suitable etch recipe for microfabrication of patterns on thin multi-component glass coverslips. Pattern dimensions were shown to be nearly commensurate with patterns on the microfiche, which was used as a field mask. In another approach, mechanical machining for fabricating polymeric templates was attempted on poly(methyl methacrylate) films spin coated on thin glass cover slips. The mechanical machining was implemented using computer numerical control (CNC) machines with the pattern dimensions in the range of 50 Mu m-150 Mu m.
The glass and polymeric templates were used in template directed colloidal self-assembly experiments us ing polystyrene or silica particles. Confocal microscopy was used to obtain images of particle packing in template geometries. Imaging of the particles confined in the template geometries show increased particle concentration along pattern walls and corners. Inherent pattern irregularities and roughness possibly resulted in limited order in particle. Using a simple fortran program, image stack generated from confocal microscopy is used for obtaining images of particle packing in four different view planes which includes top, side, cross sectional and diagonal view of the image stack.
The results from this research show the application of simple microfabrication processes for creating physical templates for template directed colloidal self-assembly. Confocal microscopy imaging combined with fortran image processing program can provide images of particle packing in different view planes. These images of the particles confined in various pattern geometries illustrate greater possibility of packing order in straight and regular pattern geometries or profiles.

Additive Manufacture (AM) is a novel manufacturing method; it is a process of forming components by adding materials. Owing to material saving and manufacturing cost saving, more and more research has been focused on metal AM technologies. WAAM is one AM technology, using arc as the heat sources and wire as the material to create parts with weld beads on a layer-by-layer basis. The process can produce components in a wide range of materials, including aluminum, titanium and steel. High deposition rate, material saving and elimination of tooling cost are critical characteristics of the process.
Cost estimation is important for all companies. The estimated results can be used as a datum to create a quote for customers or evaluate a quote from suppliers, an important consideration for the application of WAAM is its cost effectiveness compared with traditional manufacture methods. The aim of this research is to find a way to develop a cost estimating method capable of providing manufacturing cost comparison of WAAM with CNC. A cost estimation model for CNC machining has been developed. A process planning approach for WAAM was also defined as part of this research. An Excel calculation spreadsheet was also built and it can be easily used to estimate and compare manufacture cost of WAAM with CNC.
Using the method developed in this research, the cost driver analysis of WAAM has been made. The result shows that reduced material cost is the biggest cost driver in WAAM. The cost comparison of WAAM and CNC also has been made and the results show that with the increase of buy-to-fly ratio WAAM is more economical than CNC machining.

This diploma thesis is developed within my Master’s degree studies, branch mechanical engineering (M21 K), and specialization in M STM. The aim of this thesis is to solve the technology of mechanical production (machining, tooling) for the machine component called ‚shape lid‘. I execute the analysis of this technology from the perspective of the conventional machining process, and alternatively, some of the non conventional machining process, too. Conventional machining process is so far used for manufacturing of this sort of machine’s element. It‘s implying laborious work difficulties, even it’s economically disadvantageous. I suggest a new technology of manufacturing. At first, a semi-finished component could be sized by conventional machining process, and then it could be finished by the CNC (computer numerical control) milling machine. By the non-conventional machining process assume the usage of an electro-erosive machining, plasma machining, or water jet machining.Conventional technology suppose the usage of CNC milling machines. Thereinafter, feasibility aspects of this brand new technology are considered in technical and economical perspective.

Empreendimentos industriais requerem o completo e preciso acompanhamento de dados de máquinas em tempo real, integrando as atividades do chão de fábrica com a engenharia, suporte e de negócios. É reconhecido que sistemas de monitoramento são fundamentais para melhorar a qualidade do produto, reduzir os tempos e para a adaptação rápida às mudanças de produção. Os sensores de processos possuem altos custos, não são compactos e são de difícil implementação. Portanto, seria estratégico desenvolver sistemas de monitoramento que utilizem ao máximo os recursos já existentes nas máquinas ferramentas e que não representem custos adicionais de implementação. O uso de CNC´s de arquitetura aberta nas indústrias é crescente. Estes se mostram como potenciais ferramentas para atender a estas exigências. Possuem os recursos necessários para a aquisição de informações administrativas e tecnológicas e para o desenvolvimento de sistemas de monitoramento. O objetivo do presente trabalho é pesquisar arquiteturas de monitoramento e supervisão para processos de usinagem que tenham como base informações disponíveis em CNC´s de arquitetura aberta. Tais sistemas, apesar de todo o potencial existente, ainda não tem sido explorados nem desenvolvidos adequadamente para os processos de usinagem. O presente trabalho é multidisciplinar nas áreas de automação e usinagem. Está dividido em partes em que são analisados tanto os elementos tecnológicos dos CNC´s abertos, bem como os processos de monitoramento e supervisão da usinagem. São apresentadas propostas no sentido de integrar as duas áreas pelo desenvolvimento de arquiteturas de software dedicadas. Os sistemas desenvolvidos foram testados em laboratório e também nas empresas parceiras. Os resultados mostram que o uso de CNC´s abertos para monitoramento e supervisão de processos é viável e proporciona funções de monitoramento/supervisão que não eram possíveis com os sistemas convencionais e sem a necessidade de recursos adicionais, como hardware, sensores e instalação. A implementação de protótipo em empresa parceira foi bem sucedida e deverá ser expandida no futuro.Manufacturing enterprises require complete real time and accurate monitoring of machine tool data for integrating the shop floor with other company activities, as engineering, maintenance and business. It is acknowledged that monitoring systems capabilities are unavoidable to improve product quality, to reduce production time, and to the rapid adaptation in the changes of production. The use of external sensors gives high costs and do not have the advantages of compactness and the ease of use. Therefore, it is extremely advantageous to develop monitoring systems maximizing the use of the resources already existent in the machine tools and without additional costs of implementation. The use of open CNC\'s on industries is growing. This kind of control has been a great tool to attend these present requirements. It has the necessary resource to get managerial and technological information, and to develop monitoring systems. The objective of this work is to research monitoring and supervision architectures for machining process, based on information already available in open CNC\'s. Such systems, in spite of the whole existent potential, have not still been explored nor developed appropriately for the machining processes. The present work is multidisciplinary in the automation and machining areas. It is divided in parts where the technological elements of open CNC\'s are analyzed, as well as the monitoring and supervision systems of the machining processes. An architecture is proposed in the sense of integrating both monitoring and supervision. The developed systems were tested in laboratory and also in the partner companies. The results show that the use of open CNC\'s for monitoring and supervision of processes is viable and provides monitoring/ supervision functions which were not possible with the conventional systems and without the need of additional resources, as hardware and sensor installation. The prototype tested in a partner company succeeded and should be expanded in the future.
