Networked sensing for high-speed machining processes based on CORBA

The goal of this paper is to show preliminary results concerning the development of an open software platform supported by portable, low-cost technologies accepted worldwide (i.e., real-time CORBA), aiming at networked monitoring of a complex electromechanical process. A high-speed machining process was selected as a case study. Preliminary results in the networked real-time monitoring of a high-speed machining process were encouraging in spite of constraints dictated by computerized numerical control. The results also corroborated the viability of the platform for monitoring on the basis of current communications and computation technologies using open architectures.
