REPORT GENERATION

GAJENDHIRAN.V
M.E-CAD/CAM
The function of the report generator is to print a human-readable

report of the results

The report includes :

a) Part name

b) Part number

c) Material code

d) Material specification

e) Planner name

and so on
The contents of the report generation include :

a) Surface identification

b) Dimensions

c) Processes

d) Tool diameter

e) Feed

f) Speed

g) Machining time,etc.,

Aspects of process plan :

The process plan is generated automatically

The plan can be improved with a bit of “refining”

Ex. : Since TIPPS generates process sequence,the

sequence of operations does not make tool

changes or fixturing changes into account. By

simply inspecting the process plan one can see

that if operations are interchanged, tool setup

time can be eliminated

The processing time reflected in the plan does not include set-

up or tool change time

These times are system dependant i.e., if the part is being

machined on a CNC machining center, only one set-up is

required. Depending on the machine,the tool change time

may be negligible

On the other hand, in the conventional machines,set-up and

tool change time may contribute the largest portion of the

processing time
