Optimized automatic selection of turning cutting tools conditions based on data from manufacturer Sandvik Coromant

摘要

Selection of a proper cutting tool plays a significant role in achieving consistent quality and in controlling the overall cost of manufacturing. The present paper describes an approach to build of a computer interface support for automatic and optimized selection of cutting tools conditions for automated machinability assessment of manufacturing features for turning. Data-tools were collected from recent Machining Handbook of world's leading manufacturer of tools Sandvik Coromant. This application works conjointly with a feature automatic recognition system for rotational part. Examples are given to show how this approaches, systematically, lead to an optimum cutting-tool for a specific machined part.
