Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Cutting Temperature Based on Cutting Fluid in High-speed Machining

Green manufacturing is the theme of manufacturing industry in the 21st century. The environment can be seriously polluted by a large quantity of waste cutting fluid. In manufacturing industry, it's critical to restrict the quantity of waste cutting fluid poured in the environment ill order to assure a green earth. Cutting temperature has a major impact on processing quality. A stable cutting temperature means a high quality process. Cutting temperature is also a comprehensive embodiment of process state. In order to control cutting temperature in an appropriate level, an adaptive fuzzy control system is developed to control the flow of cutting fluid injected to machining tool and workpiece which can not only reduce the consumption of cutting fluid but also ensure process quality. Simulation and experiment results show that this control system can achieve the desired purpose.
