Augmented Reality Applied in Machining Processes and Cutting Tools Management

Abstract

This paper describes the benefit obtained from implementing a cutting tool management system. Also, a state of the art on tool management systems available on the market is presented. By analysing the drawbacks generated by the implementation of such a system, we are providing a cheap and practical solution: an Augmented Reality aided machining and tool management system. Using augmented reality we managed to improve the tool management systems by providing, at the scene of action, all the necessary tool information in a much more user friendly way.

Cutting Tools Assignment and Control Using Neutrosophic Case-Based Reasoning and Best Worst Method

“…Petruse and Brîndas ¸u [5] proposed an augmented reality system for effective cutting tool management. Arunachalam et al [27] applied fuzzy multiple-attribute decision-making methods to select complaint-polishing tools.…”

“…Cutting tools are one of the major components and current issues for metal cutting industries to meet the stated requirements [2][3][4]. Cutting tools planning and control in machining processes is a crucial task to increase productivity by making available the necessary tools [5]. Managing the ow of these components is as signi cant as managing the ow of parts in contemporary manufacturing systems [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Cutting tools planning and control in machining processes is a crucial task to increase productivity by making available the necessary tools [5]. Managing the ow of these components is as signi cant as managing the ow of parts in contemporary manufacturing systems [5][6][7][8][9][10]. ese authors suggested that cutting tools management strategies should be integrated with system design, planning, and control activities to improve resources utilization and reduce operational costs.…”

“…Cutting tools can contribute to 30-50% of the potential savings of the total operating costs in machining processes, although its cost contribution is nearly from 2 to 4% of the total production cost [5]. To address this problem, several studies were proposed in the past.…”

Application of Fuzzy Case-Based Reasoning and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process for Machining Cutter Planning and Control

“…Assigning the right cutter is one of the major factors for machining operations to meet the stated requirements [3][4][5]. Cutter planning and control methods are used to improve machining productivity and equipment availability [6]. Several researchers focused on managing the fow cutters in contemporary manufacturing [2,6,7,8,[9][10][11].…”
