Determination of Wear Limit and the Initial Setting Position of Tool for a Machining Process

절삭공정에서 가공공구의 초기위치와 마모한계 결정

Most of machines are physically or chemically degenerated by continuous usage. There- fore, a preventive maintenance is necessary. Producing defects are caused by process shift in mean and variance which are due to three types of degeneration. We develope the function of process variance from the experimental data and determine the optimal tool wear limit and the initial setting position of tool by considering the percent defective cost and the preventive maintenance cost.
