This study aims to develop a turning system that uses
a haptic device as a new operation interface to enable
even beginners to operate a turning machine easily
and safely. The haptic device is important because
it can provide the user with sensations of physical
force, such as shocks or vibrations, in the virtual space.
These sensations of force function to guide the operator
to suitable operation by limiting tool movement.
In this study, a system is developed to teach, using the
haptic device, the toolmovements in machining shapes
in a virtual space. The tool movement that is taught is
output as the movement of turning machine, and the
actual machining is performed. In the our system, we
have implemented a function that avoids interference
between the tool and workpiece and limits the depth of
cut in order to avoid excessive cutting. The usefulness
of developed system is confirmed through machining
experiments.
