Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

The adoption of STEP-NC on CNC machines has been one of the most enduring difficulties in daily operations. It is not outside of the realm of possibility to put this solution into practice by techniques that are indirect, interpretative, or adaptive. In this implementation, the interpreted approachs performance was noticeably better than the indirect methods. In this particular field, a substantial amount of investigation still needs to be carried out. This investigation focuses on a better interpreted STEP-NC programming paradigm, and a novel data interpretation approach along with algorithm design are presented. The system has been contributed with the latest hybrid method, which combines the indirect and interpreted strategies for constructing tool paths. In addition, the interpretation algorithm has been updated to incorporate a method for extracting data in two layers (entity and string). The entirety of the system is made up of a variety of software tools and algorithms for the purpose of data extraction, tool path development, and execution. The information included in the paper explains the systems structure and the process used to construct the algorithm. In addition, it has been tested on the STEP-NC part 21 examples 1 and 2. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature.
