Optimal selection of process parameters for turning operations in a CAPP system

The importance of optimization of process parameters is increasingly felt in the wake of the adoption of expensive NC technologies into the shop-floor. In this context, the present paper reports the development of an optimization module for determining process parameters for turning operations as part of a PC-based generative C flexibility in the model formulation is highlighted. Following this, improved mathematical models are formulated by modifying the tolerance and workpiece rigidity constraints for multipass turning operations. The formulated models are solved by the combination of geometric and linear programming techniques. APP system. The need for an optimization approach that permits
