Abstract
An intelligent knowledge-based system for evaluating wire-electro-erosion dissolution (WEED) in a concurrent engineering (CE) environment and based on object-oriented techniques, is introduced. The design description is obtained through a feature-based approach. Nine different classes of design features are interactively acquired. The attributes of steel as a workpiece material, copper wire as a tool material, a single electrolyte solution, one type of WEED machine, and machining conditions such as current pulse on- and off-time, and nozzle distance, are stored in a database. For each design feature, information needed in manufacturing, such as the machining cycle time and cost, material removal rate, width of cut, maximum and working feed-rate, cutting area, and operation efficiency are estimated.
