Computer-aided process of selecting technological features for machine design series of types

Abstract

The basic concept described in this paper is the application that enables generating technological data for machine design series of types. The data is generated in the traditional form (operation and instruction sheets) and codes for numerically controlled machine tools. The model of transformation is based on the developed theory of technological similarity using relational databases [1, 5]. The method is based on the susceptibility to algorithmic presentation of quantitative construction data. Technological structure for each product in the series remains unchanged (with possible small changes). Only processing parameters are subject to changes. The method enables creating a few variants of technological plans for a given element and the differences between these plans result from the fact of different construction forms of the elements.
