Abstract: | A neural networks based approach to determine the appropriate machining parameters such as speed, depth of cut and feed is proposed in this study. In this approach neural networks were used for building automatic process planning systems. Training of neural networks was performed with back propagation method by using data sets sampled in a standard handbook. These networks consist of simple processing, elements or nodes capable of processing information in response to external inputs. This approach saves computing time and storage space. In addition, it provides easy extendability as new data become available. Currently, the system provides three neural networks: for turning, for milling and for drilling operations. The performance of the trained neural network for drilling is evaluated to examine how well it predicts the machining parameters. Test results show that the neural network for the turning operation is able to predict the machining parameter values within an acceptable error rate. |
