Abstract: The problem of finding monotone paths between two given points has useful applications in path planning, and in particular, it is useful to look for minimum link paths. We are given a simple ...

Abstract: In modern manufacturing applications of products such as LCD’s, semiconductor wafers, and thin film heads, the workpiece has to be processed in multiple steps. The quality and yield of the ...

Abstract: High speed milling (HSM) has great potential use in die/mold cutting, but traditional machining plans do exploit HSM capabilities effectively. An important consideration in HSM is to limit cutting ...

Abstract: A theoretical simulation study was performed to study how surface roughness of the workpiece and datum can affect the locating precision of multiple station manufacturing processes using a ...

Abstract: In this research, the achievable precision level using mechanical datums for manufacturing has been studied. Specifically, the effect of how a datum is secured in a mechanical alignment system ...

Abstract: Mechanical means of positioning are frequently used in mechanical assembly processes. However, very little attention has been paid to the proper design and selection of mechanical alignment systems ...
