Proposal of Process Planning System for End-Milling Operation Considering Product Design Constraints

With the rapid development of modern science and technology and computer technique, modern enterprise faces new challenges for product design, production, management, market planning and sales. The products of enterprises develop towards diversification, serialization and individualization. Technological design is important in product manufacturing process and is a bond of product design and actual production. Therefore, modern enterprises need to develop computer aided process planning system to improve the quality and efficiency of process design of the enterprise. Starting from the requirements of enterprises on computer aided process planning systems and combining the existing Web technology, the paper proposes the study on integration of computer aided process planning system and PDM system. The development and application of the system not only provides strong support for enterprises realizing rapid design and manufacture and strong basis for enterprises realizing computer integrated manufacturing system, but also makes informationization degree, economic benefit and social benefit of enterprises improve greatly.

Process Planning System

Abstract This paper presents some details of design and implementation of a computerized process planning system for parts requiring milling operations. The interactive system uses generative approach of process planning. The system is capable of handling end milling, face milling and peripheral milling. The geometric programming technique is used for determining the optimal machining parameters. Emphasis is laid on the constraining equations used in the optimization model. The power equations are derived from basic metal cutting analysis. The cutter selection is automatic to some extent. The system outputs detailed process plans giving sequence of operations, optimal machining parameters, cost per piece and production rate.
