Abstract
In this study, a knowledge-based tool is developed to enhance the manufacturing efficiency of mechanical components, particularly those requiring the removal of large components, such as the struts of airplane landing gears. Using this tool, knowledge is extracted and implemented during the turning process. The cutting forces and material-removal quantities are calculated based on the obtained knowledge. User-friendly graphical user interfaces are provided for user interactions. They can be used to input various parameters, such as the workpiece, cutting tool, and machining conditions, including the cutting material, rotational speed, and cut depth. The tool outputs essential parameters, such as the cutting forces, torque, power consumption, and material-removal rate, under different cutting conditions. More importantly, the tool enables users to conduct trade-off analyses, thus enabling the identification of near-optimal cutting conditions while accounting for factors such as tool life and production efficiency. This study contributes to the machining of high-strength materials by providing a useful tool for efficient industrial manufacturing.
