An Open Loop C.N.C. Lathe with Optimised Turning Parameters

  • Chapter
Proceedings of the Nineteenth International Machine Tool Design and Research Conference

Summary

An open loop CNC turning system is proposed in which speed and feeds are controlled to provide minimum cost machining. A description of the system is first given including details of the hardware, programming and optimisation procedure. There follows a discussion of cost optimisation in turning, and finally recommendations are made for the design and operation of an industrial version of the system.
