Abstract
STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data, ISO 10303) data for numerical control (NC), or the new standard STEP-NC (ISO 14649), is intended to provide full product and process data interoperability between computer-aided manufacturing systems and machine tool controllers. Wireless networks have been widely developed compare to wired network, and the wireless communication removes the restriction of wired connections. One of successful wireless networks architecture is WiFi (wireless fidelity) and it is very popular in providing different data services. Integrated WiFi network is a great potential for the future due to the high data transport capacity of WiFi. Google’s Android platform is a widely anticipated open source operating system for mobile phones and the idea to integrate with NC machine through WiFi will be a contribution for manufacturing industries. This research focuses to explore the theories and techniques behind procedure of STEP-NC system controlled by android platform through WiFi. The developed application controller enables the machine tool to be controlled based on wireless communication, android platform and STEP-NC data generated from CAD/CAM systems.
