A robust design in hardfacing using a plasma transfer arc
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-02)
This paper presents the use of the Taguchi-regression method in developing the optimal plasma transferred arc welding (PTAW) process for obtaining high hardfacing quality characteristics. An “optimal” process means that ...
A comprehensive error compensation system for correcting geometric, thermal, and cutting force-induced errors
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1997-10)
A comprehensive error compensation system has been developed to correct geometric, thermal, and cutting force-induced errors on a turning centre. The basic approach to error compensation is proposed in this paper. The ...
Evaluation and derivation of process plans in turning
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1996-05)
The objective of this paper is to formalize process planning selection to minimise the total processing time and the total number of processing steps. The study is performed by defining the processes and part description ...
Modeling and compensation of geometric errors in simultaneous cutting using a multi-spindle machine tool
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-01-18)
A volumetric error compensation method for a machining center that has multiple cutting tools operating simultaneously has been developed. Due to axis sharing, the geometric errors of multi-spindle, concurrent cutting ...
Feature signature prediction of a boring process using neural network modeling with confidence bounds
(Springer Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 2005-11-18)
Prediction of machine tool failure has been very important in modern metal cutting operations in order to meet the growing demand for product quality and cost reduction. This paper presents the study of building a neural ...
Adaptive inventory control models for supply chain management
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-10)
Uncertainties inherent in customer demands make it difficult for supply chains to achieve just-in-time inventory replenishment, resulting in loosing sales opportunities or keeping excessive chain-wide inventories. In this ...
Thermal error modelling for real-time error compensation
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1996-07)
A modelling strategy for the prediction of both the scalar and the position-dependent thermal error components is presented. Two types of empirical modelling method based on the multiple regression analysis (MRA) and the ...
Data mining algorithm for manufacturing process control
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-03)
In this paper, a new data mining algorithm based on the rough sets theory is presented for manufacturing process control. The algorithm extracts useful knowledge from large data sets obtained from manufacturing processes ...
Methods of measuring the size and complexity of PLC programs in different logic control design methodologies
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-09)
Currently there is a wide variety of logic control design methodologies used in industrial logic design. These methodologies include ladder diagrams, function block diagrams, sequential function charts, and flow charts, ...
Finite element modeling of 3D turning of titanium
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-09-14)
The finite element modeling and experimental validation of 3D turning of grade two commercially pure titanium are presented. The Third Wave AdvantEdge machining simulation software is applied for the finite element modeling. ...
