Abstract

Aeronautics is certainly one of the most demanding industries of the world on a technical level. With materials that are increasingly difficult to machine, drastic specifications and ever tighter deadlines, the manufacture of aeronautical parts must exceed many limits while the production rate is constantly increasing. This paper aims to provide complete solutions for the machining of typical parts. Indeed, the evolution of CNC technology, combined with advances in computer systems, provided the basis for re-evaluating the way computer-assisted systems, can be used to enable universal manufacturing. The G code no longer meets the current expectations of programming more and more sophisticated machines. In reality, the STEP-NC standard (STEP-Numerical Control) provides new solutions and integration of manufacturing within the complete digital chain. This paper proposes a new numerical channel CAD/CAM based on a STEP-NC conceptual high-level standard for the machining of aeronautical parts, which aims to develop intelligent and powerful tools for data sharing and integration in the numerical chain of CAD-CAD/CAM systems.
