Template-Based Process Planning System for Special Bearing

This paper reports the work of web-based auto-design machining process of special bearing. A template-based process planning method is proposed for auto generating machining process of special bearing, including turning process and grinding process of inner ring or outer ring. Process templates are customized to generate process, procedures size and size tolerance are calculated according to procedure size database. A web-based process planning system is developed based on the proposed method. The use of the system is illustrated with an example.
