Abstract :
This paper encompasses work at the McMaster University IMMRC which is ongoing in the combined research areas of open-architecture machine control (OAC) and advanced machining systems. In particular the paper describes technologies developed to schedule and monitor die and mold machining. These technologies are implemented on an OAC hardware/software platform supporting a full 3-axis CNC machining centre
