Basic Architecture and Relationships of a Turning Tools Database

Abstract:

Cutting tools selection is a very important and time consuming activity in production systems. It influences parts quality, productivity and timing, therefore production cost. Computer-based approach is conditioned by programming structures and information concentrated in databases. This paper presents the basic architecture and relationships for a tool selection management system in turning processes, which is under development. Relational implementation defined by internal links, is highlighted. The system is constructed using macros and Microsoft Visual Basic. Considering input data provided by user, different solutions for machines, toolholders and indexable inserts are generated. The database is designed to support manufacturing requests.
