The paper presents the conception and achievement of a CAPP module integrated in a CIM system. For the conception of the CAPP module the DB, OOP and OODBMS methods have been integrated in . Thus, a hybride CAPP module (TechCIM) have been realised, which was integrated into a CIM system designed for the manufacturing of the cardanic transmissions from cars. By integrating of the product concepti...

Dies and molds are necessary elements in the manufacturing of current industrial products. There is increasing pressure to machine high quality complicated surfaces at low cost. The standardization process planning said be a key improving efficiency machining operations practice. Thus, computer aided (CAPP) systems urgently needed reduce time effort preparing operations. However, it difficult g...

In this paper we discuss the issues involved an forming proper knowledge representation for process planning. Ajter 01 brief review the knowledge representation schemes used in the existing reported CAPP systems we describe the process planning function and its knowledge requirements. Based on these requirements, we present a knowledge representation scheme Chat allows both upstream and downstr...

This paper presents an algorithm for calculating the volume of a 2D-profile, accessible by a given diameter of milling cutter. The method is independent of the generation of cutter tool paths, and exploits facilities commonly found in kernel modellers. Exact results are obtained despite the simplicity of the procedure. As a proof of the concept, the algorithms have been implemented in the Herio...

In the present paper based on feature recognition algorithms and data extraction from IGES files, an integrated process planning system (CAPP) is introduced. The classification of workpiece features and with their aid the workpiece process plan are automatically determined. The developed CAPP system considers the part machinability as well as the existing in a factory facilities, it is independ...

In this research, the approaches of feature stamping design and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are combined to automate the process planning task and to generate process groups for set-ups. The model created in Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) system can provides different process using ANN for cylindrical parts. This model is composed by three principal modules, the first relates to ge...
