Abstract

This article presents a method to use CAD/CAM applications as a source of information for the demands the electric drive trains in a specific machine tool have to meet when executing a NC program. The electric drive trains limiting the machine tool dynamic can be identified and possible improvements to these drive trains can be proposed. Furthermore, the knowledge of the dynamic limitations of the machine tool and its electric drives allows to adapt NC programs specifically to this machine tool.
