Abstract
The application of
computer automated manufacturing systems is
rapidly increasing to follow the needs of industry. The speed of
information flow
in highly automated systems is extremely
important as they are critically dependent on the amount of
fresh
information supplied to them. In the present work, a
complete design. implementation, and testing of a computerized
Machining Information Center [MIC) is carried out to meet the
needs for automatic machinability testing that would overcome the
difficulties and expenses of conventional machinability testing
methods. MIC consists mainly of a master computer that controls a
slave computer,
which, in
turn, controls
an
Automated
Machinability Testing Unit [AMTU). The system is protected
against unintended events by including a closed loop emergencydetection
system. The MIC remarkably decreases the testing time,
cost and effort, material and tooling cost, as well as the
experimental errors resulting from the unpredicted variation of
machining conditions and from human interference. The MIC is
recommended for
the solution of machining problems, comparative
evaluation of different workpiece and tool materials, machine
tools, cutting fluids, ... etc. Moreover, it can be used as an
experimental test
rig for advanced machinability
