Summary: Two methods have been developed as a result of the research
in the project. The application of the method for maximum utilization of
single point cutting tool gives the maximum output of the machining system
in rough turning. A tool selection method using economic criteria and
optimization is developed too. The results obtained in the research in face
turning are applicable on CNC machine tools, i.e. the cutting time is
shorter for approximately 45% when face turning is done at constant cutting
speed, and the surface roughness is smaller. A contribution to the tool
wear sensing methods in turning and a contribution to the standardization
of machinability testing procedures are given. Also the identification of
manufacturing processes applying acoustic emission analysis by neural
network is done.
Keywords: Machining, Cutting tools, Optimization of the process, Sensors, Chip control, CAM, CAPP.
Research goals: The complete change of the conditions in the science
of manufacturing caused by the application of computer integrated
advanced manufacturing systems, brings about a need to change the way of
thinking and the approaches in manufacturing science. The same is valid
for the practice of manufacturing. In industrial conditions, it is
important that the machining system works, and in most cases it does not
matter how it works. The productivity of such a machining system is
usually much below its optimum value and the machining cost is too high.
The aim of the project is to obtain new knowledge in this field in order
to come closer to the optimal machining conditions, i.e. to increase the
productivity, to decrease the machining cost, to increase the utilization
of cutting tool, etc.
