Automated Process Planning System based on Knowledge Base for Injection Mold

사출금형의 지식베이스에 의한 자동공정설계시스템

This paper deals with development of a Computer Aided Process Planning System based on knowledge base in addition to database for injection mold as a part of Computer Integrated Manufacturing System for injection mold manufacture. The prposed system consists of four modules such as manufacturing feature code generation module machine tool selection and sequencing module, operation and cutting tool selection mudule and standard time estimation module. The system is programmed by using Turbo Pascal on the IBM-PC/AT. The performance of the system is evaluated by using real problems and the test results indicate that the proposed system is a practical and efficient system.
