Abstract

The manufacturing industries dealing with machining and tools' manufacturing generate a large amount of data concerning the machining process. However, in most cases, this information is not used efficiently as there is no system dedicated for storing and manipulating such data. In order to use these data to improve the efficiency and increase the benefit of machining, the cutting database system is built for these manufacturing enterprises, which can provide rational cutting parameters and tool solutions. JAVA and MYSQL are used as the base of database management system, combining XML and JavaScript technology. The intelligent tool selection model was designed, and the functions of basic information management and query were realized. It was concluded that it can commend reasonable cutting parameters and tool solutions according to machining condition input.

Keywords: Intelligent, Machining, Tool selection, RBR, CDS, Geometric parameters.
