Abstract: Networked manufacturing oriented cooperative CAPP system has become one of the hotspots of research and application. The paper mainly studies how to realize cooperative planning among heterogeneous CAPP systems in a networked manufacturing oriented environment. We put forward an idea for cooperative process planning. Then, we study some key technologies of it, including cooperative control command management technology and shared data processing. Finally an example of the networked manufacturing oriented cooperative CAPP system is introduced.
