AN EXPERT SYSTEM FOR DESIGN OF DIE BLOCK OF DEEP DRAWING DIE
Keywords:
Expert systems, Die Block, Deep Drawing Die, AutoCADAbstract
In this research an expert system is developed for design of die block of deep drawing die. The system is developed using production rule based expert system approach of Artificial Intelligence (AI).The proposed system consists of two modules namely DBLCK and DBLCKMOD. The first module is developed for selection of proper size of die block and the second module is constructed for modeling of die block in the drawing editor of AutoCAD. Modules are coded in AutoLISP and visual basic 6.0 language and interfaced with AutoCAD software. The proposed system is capable to automate the design and modeling of die block of deep drawing die. As the system can be easily implemented on a PC with AutoCAD software, therefore its low cost of implementation makes it affordable for small scale sheet metal industries.
