We propose a knowledge-based system for process planning in cold forging. In our study, we had developed FORTEK-L (FORging Technology of process planning using Expert Knowledge for Layout), which is widely applicable to various shapes and types of equipment. In the next step, we have developed a knowledge-based die configuration design system, FORTEK-D (Die configuration design), which can generate suitable die configurations from layouts obtained from FORTEK-L. In the development of FORTEK-D, we have analyzed and reproduced the expert engineer's thinking process during die configuration design. Moreover, we have formulated the data representation, inference method, and knowledge-base for use with this system. In accordance with the formulation, we have developed a prototype system. We applied FORTEK-D to actual forged products and obtained appropriate results. The knowledge using the basic principle is widely applicable to various shapes and on a variety of equipment. Therefore, the abilities to maintain and operate the system have been improved. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
