Automated Process Planning System for Turned Parts

Abstract

Presents a description of an automated manufacturing process planning (AMPP) system developed by the US Army Missile Command (MICOM) at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, that integrates computer aided design, computer aided process planning and computer aided manufacturing systems. The AMPP system automatically generates process plans and numerical control code to fabricate turned cylindrical parts. The AMPP system is available for demonstration at the AIDT Alabama Center for Advanced Technology Transfer (ACATT) in Huntsville.
