Optimal Tool Replacement Decision Method Based on Cost and Process Capability

  • Conference paper
Mechanical Engineering and Technology

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 125))

Abstract

This paper distinguished “good” tools and defective tools considering the high tool failure rate in the initial cutting process, so the distribution function of tool life was given combined with the lognormal distribution. The paper optimized the tool replacement interval under the restriction of process capability, to minimize the tool using cost in every unit time. In addition, the effects tool grinding have on the cost was analyzed, to seek for the best combination of tool grinding interval and grinding times, and further decrease the using cost.
