In this paper the authors present a case study from the woodprocessing industry. It focuses on a cutting process in which material from stock is cut down in order to provide the items required by the customers in the desired qualities, sizes, and quantities. In particular, two aspects make this cutting process special. Firstly, the cutting process is strongly interdependent with a preceding han...

Automatic discovery of process models from event logs is an important and promising area in Business Process Management. Process models document how business processes should be performed, so they capture different concerns related to business processes. Some of these concerns are not limited to one process model, and they are repeated in many others as well, called cross-cutting concerns. Alth...

Flexible blade cutting applied on thick layers of foam is very feasible for creating large sized physical models. The heated tool is set and moved in a circumferential tool motion along the front face of the layer. During these primary motions the cutting tool is positioned in order to ensure the best tool position and tool orientation for the cutting process. The adjustment of the tool positio...

One of the disadvantages of conventional milling tools is to produce a large amount of heat in cutting zone and so making the tool warmer. As a result, the tool would be worn and its life time would be reduced. Therefore, in long time machining, it is essential to change inserts and tools, continiously. A milling tool with self rotary cutting inserts was designed and manufactured that enables i...

This study aimed to evaluate Laser-cutting process of Mild Steel St37 sheets with two different thicknesses. In order to evaluate the quality of cutting edge and the depth of the area affected by the heat, several tests were conducted to determine the effect of parameters such as Laser power, Laser beam movement speed and pressure of axillary gas on the quality of cutting edge and the depth of ...

Remote laser cutting in carbon fibre reinforced polymers is a promising machining technology, which can reduce the main drawback cutting, heat affected zone. As zone has strong influence on mechanical behaviour of composite, an exact characterisation key challenge for simulation and design polymers. In order to reach this goal, process model introduced. Based finite difference method, transport...

Gear skiving is used as a gear finishing process to reduce distortion errors which occurred on the gears due to the heat treatment. This process is similar to gear hobbing but the difference is that the cutting tool has a negative rake angle and tooth rake offset. The present study simulates the kinematics of the cutting process with the aid of commercial CAD software and allows the precise det...

In this study, ultrasonic assisted machining (UAM) technique is applied in side-surface milling experiment for glass-ceramic workpiece material. The tungsten carbide cutting-tool with diamond coating is used in conjunction with two kinds of cooling/lubrication mediums such as water-soluble (WS) cutting fluid and minimum quantity lubricant (MQL). Full factorial process parameter combinations on ...
