Abstract: This paper presents an approach for the selection of a set of process parameters for use in machining control. The approach is aimed at providing a range of parameters within which machining ...

Abstract: This paper describes the attempt to combine A. I. techniques with process knowledge in order to devise a flexible control strategy for machining. This is done by treating the control of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for reducing the thermal damage of composite materials during laser grooving. The method utilizes a water jet in tandem with the laser beam in an attempt to ...

Abstract: When a human controls a manufacturing process he or she uses multiple senses to monitor the process. Similarly, one can consider a control approach where measurements of process variables are ...

Abstract: This paper discusses a closed-loop control concept for laser machining. A key development in the proposed control scheme is an acoustic sensor for inferring hole, kerf, and groove geometry in ...

Abstract: This paper presents a concept for performing three-dimensional laser machining on composite materials, using two intersecting laser beams to create grooves on a workpiece. A volume of material ...

Abstract: In order to overcome the limitations of traditional laser machining, a new concept of laser machining using two intersecting beams is proposed. The optimization of this process requires an ...
