Research on key technology of machining simulation based on Web

According to the single release form of product information on the network in machine manufacturing enterprises and the high price of the conventional NC simulation software, a machining simulation system based on Web is developed in this paper. Making use of the superiority of Java and JavaScript on Web and the interaction of VRML technology, 3D browsing, virtual assembly and machining simulation are realized on the network. Based on the authenticity and real-time of virtual reality, a network distributed virtual simulation system is designed. This method of NC machining simulation is not dependent on the expensive CAD/CAM software, and for the size of the system files is small, it can be transferred on the network conveniently. Using the browser with the plug as the client, the system has free installation, authenticity, interaction, low cost, portability, low requirements for the client, etc.
