The conference will consist of presentations on all aspects of SMS technologies, including but not limited to:
- Smart machine tool components such as spindles, drive systems, controls
- Machine tool condition monitoring
- Machine tool performance characterization and tracking
- Predictive tolerance analysis and control
- Process quality control and improvement
- Robust optimization and other mathematical modeling tools for machining environments with high levels of uncertainty
- Process modeling :
- Modeling of the tool-material/work-material interaction including Finite Element Modeling (FEM), measurement of material properties at high strain rates, cutting modeling, thermal modeling at the tool-chip interface and others
- Modeling of the machine tool system including high speed machining, simulation of machined surface, and machine tool dynamics
- Data standardization and requirement for CNC
- Use of knowledge and information modeling for SMS (data representation, ontologies, XML, OWL, software application, study case…)
- Concurrent engineering approaches for SMS integration into earlier stages of the product life cycle across a company as well as within an extended enterprise
- Virtual machining and its integration in the manufacturing enterprise
There is a great deal of difficulty integrating all of these aspects together into a well structured and functional system. Developing such a system requires coordinated activities across disparate engineering domains. The focus of this conference is to present and exchange research advances and experiences on how to integrate all of these SMS technologies.
