Prediction of the production rate of the cutting dimensional stone process is crucial, especially when chain saw machines are used. The cutting dimensional rock process is generally a complex issue with numerous effective factors including variable and unreliable conditions of the rocks and cutting machines. The Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) type of neural network and Radial Basis Functi...

Abstract A wide variety of cutting fluids are commercially available in the cutting fluid suppliers in order to provide machining performances for a number of industries. In machining, mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting fluids are widely used but, recently, uses of vegetable based cutting fluids have been increased. Although, these cutting fluids are beneficial in the industries, the...

Optimization of process parameters is the key step in response surface methods to achieve high quality without cost inflation. The multi-response optimization of the machining parameters viz, chip-tool interface temperature, main cutting force and feed force on lathe turning of En-31 steel as alloy steel using RSM with grey relational analysis is reported. A grey relational grade obtained from ...

In this study we are concerned with the non-exact two-stage two-dimensional guillotine cutting problem considering usable leftovers, in which stock plates remainders of the cutting patterns (non-used material or trim loss) can be used in the future, if they are large enough to fulfill future demands of items (ordered smaller plates). This cutting problem can be characterized as a residual bin-p...

Original scientific paper Reducing the manufacturing time is the trend of high precision manufacturing, and the precision of a work-piece is very important for the manufacturing industry. The high-speed motorized spindle is the most critical part and becoming more widely used in the machine tool at present, and its precision may affect the overall performance of high-speed cutting. Most of the ...

Abstract. This paper describes recognition and cutting system of sweet peppers for picking robots in greenhouse horticulture. This picking robot has an image processing system with a positioning system for two cameras and cutting a device to follow the sweet pepper by visual feedback control. A prototype robot system is introduced. Experiments of the prototype robot prove the performance of the...

The optimized cutting parameters are very important to control the required surface quality. In the present study, Taguchi method is used to find the optimal cutting parameters for surface roughness (Ra) in turning. The L-18 orthogonal array, the signal-to-noise ratio & analysis of variance are employed to study the performance characteristics in turning operations of AISI-410 steel bars using ...

Based on analytical and experimental test methods, an evaluation of coated tools efficiency in milling Ti6Al4V with coated cemented carbide inserts is introduced. The stress-strain curves and the fatigue critical loads of the investigated coating were determined at various temperatures by nanoindentations and impact tests respectively, employing FEM-supported algorithms for results evaluation. ...
