PRESENT AND FUTURE AUTOKON

The history of development and the use of "NC"-systems at the "Aker Group" in Norway are briefly reviewed. The "Autokon 76" system, now in use in 50-60 yards in Europe and the United States, is then described. The system can be regarded as a "drawing generator" but also produces "NC" information, material lists, weight calculations etc. The main functions of the system and the norms used are discussed. Current developments are dealt with, limitations of batch systems, availability of information, information consistency, the change oriented product model, and user communication. Order from NSFI as No. 17160.
