The optimal dimensional design of machining technologies

Abstract

The paper discusses the design methodology of optimal technological processes of machining, bearing in mind that these processes are related to discrete processes. Discreteness is manifested at different levels: the process consists of a certain number of operations, the operation consists of a number of adjustments and the adjustment consists of a number of operation elements. Each of these levels is a dimensional object with its own internal dimensional structure. The links between dimensional levels are complex and the process is iterative with the ability to return to a higher level.
