Abstract
AbstractThe selection of appropriate cutting tool (CT) is a critical part of machining. Selecting the right tool for the right job will enable customers to achieve economic machining, saving time and cost while delivering high-quality products. Nowadays, the complexity of CT and workpiece is increasing; this changes the input and output requirements for cutting tool selection paving way to automation. There are two types of CT selection methods, manual and automated CT selection. This article focuses on automated CT selection, which has different inputs and outputs based on the algorithm/AI technique used. The potential and promising aspects of CT selection could enhance the machining in terms of productivity, time, cost, and quality aspects. A comprehensive review of automated CT selection methods has been presented in this paper. The review surveys different automated CT selection methods in terms of inputs, outputs, and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques/different algorithms since most of the researchers have not focused on this perspective. It outlines the current status of research and application, which has the potential to improve the automated CT selection methods for the benefit of the manufacturing industry.
