Study on virtual numerical control turning system based on network

A virtual turning platform with net, modular and distributive construction is introduced. A network virtual numerical control (NC) turning system by Virtual Reality Module Language (VRML) and Java language is built, and the frame of the system and the realization of main functions are described. Users could build the process environment and systematic parameters on native or foreign net easily. Explorer (IE) browse interface is used to visit the operation of virtual digital control lathe, then the machining process could be estimated and optimized through net resources.
