Automated cutting tool selection and cutting tool sequenceoptimisation for rotational parts Ali Orala，* M. Cemal Cakir Mechanical Engineering Department, Uludag University, Bursa, Turkey Abstract： The aim of this work is to define computer-aided optimum operation and tool sequences that are to be used in Generative Process Planning System developed for rotational parts. The software developed for this purpose has a modular structure. Cutting tools are selected automatically using the machinability data, workpiece feature information, machine tool data, workholding method and the set-up number. An optimum tool sequence is characterised by a minimum number of tool changes and minimum tool travel time. Tool and operation sequence for minimum tool change are optimised with a developed optimisation method that is based on “Rank“Order Clustering’2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Computer-aided process planning; Tool selection; Operation sequence; Tool sequence; Optimisation. 1. Introduction The first step and one of the main objectives of a computer integrated manufacturing system is to integrate the computer-aided design (CAD) and computeraided manufacturing (CAM) components. The total integration of these two components into a common environment CAD/CAM is still under development. Many of the major developments have been uncoordinated and there is a great deal of overlap in terms of their intended functions. For example, the present CAD/CAM systems have their strength in geometrical definition, i.e., CAD component and CAM is mostly limited to CNC programming. Other important intermediate elements such as process planning are not included. This is due to the fact that the numerical information generated by a CAD system is not sufficient for process planning. Computer-aided process planning systems available in the market are incomplete and limited when compared to the number of CAD and CAM systems available [1]. Process planning is an activity, which
