“…Major research efforts in the area of Tool Selection started in the early 80's. A review of solution methodologies for optimum tool selection can be found in Cederqvist [18], Giusti et al [19], Chen et al [20], Syan [21], Domazet [22], Maropoulos [23], Hinduja and Barrow [24], Eversheim et al [2], Zhang and Hinduja [4], Hedin et al [17]. The task of selecting cutting tools which are not only functionally correct but also optimum, is a complex one.…”

“…Chen et al [20] have adopted a heuristic-deterministic approach to reduce the computing time to determine the optimum tooling for rough turning operations. Domazet [22] has proposed a hybrid approach to automatically select turning tools; the selection is done in stages and for those stages which require special knowledge and expertise, a non-algorithmic method is followed. Maropoulos [23] has used an algorithm approach to automatically determine tools for rough and finish turning operations.…”

With the increase in automation and use of computer control in machine tools, the number of cutting tools per machining setup is on the increase. On one hand, such multi-tool setups offer the advantages of reduced down-time and cost of production and require less space and in-process inventory, and on the other hand, require proper tool management for economic operations. A number of strategies have been devised to solve the tool selection problems and a number of tool replacement policies have been proposed in the past. These strategies have been solved in isolation, whereas, a comprehensive algorithm for proper selection of tools out of those available in the tool magazine for performing operation and for replacement of tools on failure/wear is necessary. In this paper, taking cue from the computer memory management policies, four tool selection strategies have been presented and their performance in tandem with various tool replacement policies has been studied. The effect of important parameters such as reduction of tool life due to regrinding, limited number of regrindings, catastrophic failures etc. have been considered. Cost has been computed for each combination of tool selection and replacement policy. Also, the number of machine stoppages has been worked out in each case. The results indicate that the combination of various selection strategies with suitable replacement policies affects the overall cost

“…In some product knowledge system, such as expert CAPP, in addition to terminologies and world descriptions, rules also are used to express knowledge, especial heuristic rules and default rules [15]. The difference between the rule C D ⇒ and the inclusion axiom C D ⇒ is that the rule is not equivalent to its contrapositive D C ¬ ⇒ ¬ .…”

In order to capture the full fledge semantic of complicated product data model, the expressive language ALCNHR+K(D) is introduced. It cannot only be able to represent knowledge about concrete domain and constraints, but also rules in some sense of closed world semantic model hypothesis. Also the paper investigates an extension to description logic (DL) based knowledge reasoning by means of decomposing and rewriting complicated hybrid concepts into partitions. We present an approach that automatically decomposes the whole knowledge base into description logic compatible one and constraints solver one. Our arguments are two-fold. First, complex DLs with powerful representation ability lack effective reasoning ability. Second, we are concerned with how to reason effectively with the combination of inferences from distributed heterogeneous reasoner.

“…The main components for assembling complete tools are tool‐holders and tool inserts. The geometric data of each tool‐holder and tool insert are described by standard ISO codes[5, 15,16] which assist in designing an easy‐to‐use standardized database system. Figure 6 shows the parameters used to generate an ISO code for a turning tool‐holder and its matching inserts for a CNC turning centre.…”
