8 9 Abstract 10 11 To verify NC programs as well as to optimize the cutting conditions, the importance of machining process simulation system is increasing. 12 The paper discusses new approach for milling operation simulation using enhanced Z map algorithm. To extract the required geometric 13 information from NC code, suggested algorithm uses supersampling method to enhance the efficiency of a...

In order to produce any product with desired quality by machining, proper selection of process parameters is essential. This can be accomplished by Full Factorial method. The aim of the present work is to investigate the effect of process parameter on surface finish and material removal rate (MRR) to obtain the optimal setting of these process parameters and the analysis of variance is also use...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a non conventional manufacturing process which is used for shaping hard metals and forming deep complex shaped profiles by arc erosion in all kinds of electro-conductive materials. The objective of this paper is to study the influence of process parameters and electrode shape configuration on the machining characteristics such as surface quality, material...

machines using ball end mill cutters; the determination of the optimum tool and the minimization of the machining times for each surface. In the proposed methodology, the accessibility problem is first analyzed and then the optimal tool is selected from a database of tools. Next, and depending on the machining method, we select automatically the optimum sweeping method and the associated machin...
