Machining of hard materials is a recent technology for direct production of work-pieces. The primary challenge in machining these materials is selection of cutting tool inserts which facilitates an extended tool life and high-precision machining of the component. These materials are widely for making precision parts for the aerospace industry. Nickel-based alloys are typically used in extreme e...

The concept of an effective orthogonal cutting edge in turning is considered. The orientation of this edge in the radial-longitudinal plane, as commonly modeled through an effective lead angle, is studied. The methods of effective lead angle prediction used in numerous previously developed force models are plagued with large errors over ranges of process inputs, in particular feed rate and dept...

The configuration of an autonomous decentralized manufacturing system using multi agent technology is proposed to get more flexibility. In this digital factory, all elements such as machine tool, assembly machine, AGV, and product are installed as agents. The product agents take the initiatives in the system. When a blank workpiece is put on the shop floor, the product agent is dynamically gene...

Observations are made regarding the influence of cutting speed and friction on cutting force by way of finite element modeling. Simulations are validated by comparison of cutting forces and chip morphologies for the Al6061-T6. Analysis of cutting forces over a wide range of cutting conditions suggests an important role of the secondary shear zone in the decrease of cutting force as a function o...

This paper presents the suitable depth of cut, spindle speed and feed rate that will be chosen during machining. If thus parameters are not considered, this can provoke abnormal tool behavior such as chatter. Chatter will limit the tool life which only can be use for just a few times. To predict the chatter occurs, the parameters will be use are spindle speed, depth of cut and feed rate. CNC ma...
