Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new module as a part of the overall computer-aided process planning system, which will improve both the system effectiveness and provide consistent process plans. In this thesis, it is proposed to build a detailed mathematical model for the operation of a CNC lathe which will include the system characterization, the cutting conditions and tool life relationship, and related constraints. Then an algorithm is presented to find tool-operation assignments, machining conditions, appropriate tool magazine organization, and an operations sequence which will result in a minimum production cost.xiii, 133 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMachining EconomicsComputer Aided Process Planning (CAPP)Geometric ProgrammingTJ1215 .A93 1993Turning--Mathematical models.Thesis
