Information description and integration of spiral bevel gear manufacturing process under networked manufacturing mode

Abstract

The continuous maturing and fusion of information and network technologies open a new route for the manufacture of spiral bevel gears. As one of the advanced manufacturing paradigms, networked manufacturing has become an important development direction of spiral bevel gears. Aimed to effectively realize the information description and integration of spiral bevel gear networked manufacturing process, this paper presents a novel information description and integration framework for spiral bevel gear networked manufacturing by combining the information network technologies and spiral bevel gears manufacturing technologies. In this paper, the information flow of spiral bevel gear networked manufacturing process is deeply analyzed, and the information description and integration framework for spiral bevel gear networked manufacturing process are proposed. Furthermore, through developing the prototype of information integration operation management system for spiral bevel gear networked manufacturing, the united description and integration management of spiral bevel gear networked manufacturing process information are realized. Finally, an actual networked manufacturing application experiment of one spiral bevel gear order is provided to demonstrate the feasibility and practicability of the proposed information description and integration framework and its implementation methods.
