STEP-NC-Compliant Systems for the Manufacturing Environment
The paper provides a literature review of the STEPNC
compliant research around the world. The first part of this paper
focuses on projects based on STEP compliance followed by research
and development in this area based on machining operations. Review
the literature relating to relevant STEP standards and application in
the area of turning centers. This research will review the various
research work, carried out from the evolution of STEP-NC of the
CNC manufacturing activities. The paper concludes with discussion
of the applications in this particular area.
