Design and Evaluation Function Block of Inserts for Heavy Cutting

Abstract

This article develops the design and evaluation function block of inserts on the basis of the optimization database system of cutting parameters for large cylinder section. The function block completes the development combining 3D graphics software called SolidWorks with programming language called VB. This article achieves the design and evaluation functions which are inserts shape selection, inserts parameter design, inserts geometric characteristics design and finite element simulation of inserts. Finally, this paper proves the reliability of the result which is achieved from the design and evaluation function block of inserts by comparing with traditional inserts.

Cutting Tool CAD / CAE Integrating System Modeling

“…The cutting tools of the same type have the same topology, but the shape, size and angle parameters vary. Thus parametric design tool can reduce unnecessary duplication of effort in development process in some extent [2,3].…”

Research and Development of Superhard Cutting Database

“…Cutting database is the product of the combination that contemporary computer technology of rapid development and traditional machining technology, it has accumulated and stored a wealth production and test data of metal cutting, and it manages and maintains these datas by computer; according to the theoretical and empirical models, for the requirements of users, it can quickly process and draw tool parameters and cutting parameters [1]. Currently, to meet a wide variety of processing methods appearing the producing scene and the workpiece material and tool material of properties changing in the actual process, the study of metalcutting machining database has gradually developed from traditional development obtaining static cutting parameter data into dynamic database based artificial intelligence [2].…”
