Grant: Idea to Innovation
The University of British Columbia
$125,000.00
Digital Twin-Based Machining Process Monitoring and Control Technology
FY 2023-24
Summary
The project's goal is to develop a PC-based modular machine tool monitoring and control software (IntelCut) of applications for CNC machines used in the manufacturing industry. The technology is a digital twin-based monitoring and control system that can monitor machining operations and machine tool states online, process machine and sensor data using virtual twin information, and adjust the machining parameters to improve process productivity and maintain the machine's health. This 12-month project (Idea to Innovation Phase I) will transfer the technology into IntelCut ready-to-test version and develop applications in Heidenhain, Fanuc and Siemens (SINUMERIK 840D) CNC controllers. The deliverables in this project will be:I. Expand the software architecture and add new functions and CNC systems,II. Package, test and evaluate the ready-to-test version of the software under industry CNC machining environments,III. Document software applications and conduct pilot tests in the industry
