    Abstract

    This paper describes a first step in transfer of machine tools to HOLONIC MACHINING UNITS (HMU). The solution proposed is based on dynamic, NC-internal self-planning of cutting conditions. Supposing this approach, real time adaption of the required machining time to the available time budget can be carried out. In this way the autonomous HMU is able to survive disturbances without any reaction on job-shop-control. Cooperation of machine tools with the same properties to fulfil an order is possible, too. The first soft- and hardware implementation of holonic behaviour within a machine tool's CNC is represented by the so-called Optimizing Controller.
