Computing the Maximum Turnable State of Simple Parts

摘要

Machining planning is an important task which directly affects the cost of a211u001eproduct. Computer aided methods are increasingly being developed and used to 211u001eassist in the planning task. The authors describe a new concept, the Maximum 211u001eTurnable State of a part. The concept is intuitive and relates to an intermediate 211u001estate of every turned part. By using this idea in machining planning, efficiency 211u001ecan be increased. The authors describe the concept, study the mathematical, 211u001egeometrical and computational aspects of the problem and give examples.
