Ct-SELECTOR: A web application for cutting-tool selection in a CNC machining workshop

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Recently in most Chinese CNC machining enterprises, the selection of cutting tools still depends on the experience of individual workers, which is hard to be inherited by others. Faced with this situation, we developed a web application for selecting proper cutting tools in CNC machining workshop, named ct-SELECTOR for short. This article introduces the main functions of the ct-SELECTOR and analyzed the three key enable technologies for realizing each function: (1) the automatic cutting-tool selection and match, (2) the optimal recommendation and management of metal cutting parameters and (3) the management and off-line prediction of tool-life. Finally, the developing architecture of the ct-SELECTOR is demonstrated, and a running example is illustrated to verify the validity and practicability of this system.
