MODELLING OF INSTALLATION OPERATIONS IN CAM OF ROADHEADER DESIGN FOR THE PROCESSING OF INFRASTRUCTURAL OBJECTS

Abstract

Virtual product design represents a technological key to the reduction of costs caused by mistakes generated in the processes of engineering design during the lifetime. It is important to make the connection between product design in CAD with complex limitations of installation operations in CAM, so that conditions for development and modification in the virtual surroundins are provided in the design process before the beginning of the production. This is largely seen in roadheader design for infrastructural objects processing. The advantage of this connection in design processes lies in exceeding the formation of expensive physical production systems, therefore all variant researches are done on a virtual model.
