Internet-Based Optimization and Choice of Insert Grooves for Face-Milling

摘要

The milling inserts with three-dimensional complex grooves are optimized and chosen via Internet inrnthis paper. The face-milling process is studied, with the mathematics models of cutting force for different shape ofrncutting edges established, the cutting forces predicted and stress-fields of different insert grooves analyzed by FEM,rnaccording to the predictable results and the most suitable insert groove for particular machining conditions arernoptimized and chosen. The complex groove optimization and choice are based on a client/server model, with thernclient and server being on different machines across the internet. Communication between the client and serverrnuses the TCP/IP. The result of optimization and choice will be sent to the users via Internet. Manufacturers all overrnthe world can get the desired insert groove without paying for expensive experiments. Thus, the cost and lead timernof products are reduced.
