AN EXPERT SYSTEM FOR SELECTION OF PROCESS PARAMETERS OF DEEP DRAWING PROCESS
Keywords:
Expert System, Deep Drawing, AutoLISP, AutoCADAbstract
The aim of the present work is to propose a low cost expert system (ES) for automatic selection of process parameters of deep drawing process. The production rule based expert system approach is utilized for development of the proposed system. The technological knowledge is represented by using IF- THEN rules and coded in AutoLISP language. The system is designed to be loaded into the prompt area of AutoCAD. The system output includes recommendations on the appropriate values of process parameters suitable for production of deep drawn parts. As the system can be implemented on a PC having AutoCAD software, therefore its low cost of implementation makes it affordable even for small scale sheet metal industries.
