COMPUTER AIDED PROCESS PLANNING SYSTEM BASED ON MODULAR APPROACH

This article discusses the problem of the increase of machining process planning efficiency. The authors propose the way to design computer-aided process planning system based on modular approach to solve the problem. The first task was to change the subject of production and use specific elements of details, called a surface module. It is assumed that it is possible to decompose any detail into such elements. The second problem was to choose main parameters for checking the most efficiently technological operation. The result of this work is the automatized machining process system for processing parts for surface modules production.
