Building MRSEV models for CAM applications

January 1, 1994
Author(s)
Satyandra K. Gupta, Thomas R. Kramer, D Nau, William Regli, Li Zhang
In integrating CAD and CAM applications, one major problem is how to interpret CAD information in a manner that makes sense for CAM. Our goal is to develop a general approach that can be used with a variety of CAD and CAM applications for the manufacture

January 1, 1994
Author(s)
M. K. Senehi, Thomas R. Kramer, John L. Michaloski, Richard Quintero, Steven R. Ray, William G. Rippey, S Wallace
The Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory (MEL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has been conducting research on control of mechanical systems for more than sixteen years. The Intelligent Systems Division and the Manufacturing

A Methodology for Integrating Sensor Feedback in Machine Tool Controllers

June 30, 1992
Author(s)
Frederick M. Proctor, John L. Michaloski, Thomas Kramer
A reference model architecture for real-time hierarchical control systems has been proposed by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and has been implemented on a variety of computing platforms for manufacturing and vehicle

Issues and Recommendations for a STEP Application Protocol Framework

June 1, 1992
Author(s)
Thomas Kramer, M Palmer, Allison Barnard Feeney
This report provides a description of application protocols, a summary of AP development issues (supplemented by discussions and case studies in the appendicies), a listing of the relevant documentation and issues papers, and recommendations for resolving

Pocket Milling with Tool Engagement Detection

June 1, 1992
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer
This paper presents an algorithm for generating a tool path for cutting a pocket with islands, which includes detecting when the tool is certain to be making a minimal engagement cut. Minimal engagement is defined as the amount of engagement present in

Issues Concerning Material Removal Shape Element Volumes (MRSEVs)

March 1, 1992
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer
In machining discrete parts, Material Removal Shape Element Volumes (MRSEVs) may be used to convey shape information from process planning to NC-programming. This paper discusses sixteen issues regarding MRSEVs and presents, in summary form, a proposed

The Library of Material Removal Shape Element Volumes (MRSEVs)

March 1, 1992
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer
STEP is the emerging international Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data being developed under the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). PDES is the acronym for Product Data Exchange using STEP. It is the U. S

Pocket Milling with Tool Engagement Detection

January 1, 1991
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer
This paper presents an algorithm for generating a tool path for cutting a pocket with islands, which includes detecting when the tool is certain to be making a minimal engagement cut. Minimal engagement is defined as the amount of engagement present in

Contour Outlines

January 1, 1989
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer
This paper discusses geometric methods pertaining to planar curves consisting of sequences, straight line segments and arcs of circles joined end to end to make continuous composite curves.

Enhancements to the vws Data Preparation Software

January 1, 1989
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer
This paper discusses enhancements made between September 1987 and December 1988 to the preparation software for the Vertical Workstation (VWS) of the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

Process Planning for a Milling Machine From a Feature-Based Design

April 1, 1988
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer
In the Vertical Workstation (VWS) of the NBS Automated Manufacturing Research Facility, metal parts are machined automatically from a feature-based design. A simple two-and-a- half dimensional part may be designed and machined within an hour, allowing half
