Description:
This paper presents an integrated approach to simultaneous
optimisation of machining parameters, including machining
speed, feedrate and depth of cut, number of passes, tool
adjustment interval, and the amount of adjustment. Associated
models have been developed for both small parts, where each
tool can be used to machine several parts, and large parts,
where several tools may be required for a single workpiece.
Examples are given to demonstrate the application of the
proposed models. The impact of machining parameters and
tool cost on tool adjustment and the effect of rapid reverse on
the final solution are also discussed.
