  • Use of electronic catalogues for planning of machining processes
    Muršec, Bogomir ; Čuš, Franc, 1953-
    The paper presents the electronic catalogs for selection of tools and cutting conditions, their advantages and disadvantages. The tool makers most frequently offer the data on their tools and the ... relevant cutting conditions in the form of catalogs. Recently the data on the tool of the individual makers on compact discs have appeared. Electronic catalogs of tools contain the data on the tools of different makers. The further development is so oriented that the tool user will obtain all the necessary information through Internet. The Internet can be efficiently used in modernly organized computer-supported system for tool management. Design/methodology/approach: A home page has been made that contains the interconnections to web pages of the cutting tool makers and to some catalogs for selection of cutting tools, accessible through Internet. It is accessible on the server of the Laboratory for cutting at the Faculty of mechanical engineering in Maribor under the URL address: http://www.fs.uni-mb.si/si/insdips/labod/start.htm Findings: The contribution proposes an expert system for optimization of cutting parameters from commercial data bases. Research limitations/implications: The OPTIS expert system serves for optimization of cutting conditions with respect to minimizing the manufacturing costs by taking into account the cutting process limitations. The programme is applicable only for turning. Practical implications: The OPTIS selects optimal cutting conditions with respect to the tool maker, workpiece material, type of machining, machine, smallest and greatest cutting conditions, tool, data on series, type of clamping and workpiece geometry. Originality/value: By means of Internet it is possible to follow up particularly the products and novelties of the individual tool makers and to become familiarized with their ranges of products sold.
