Abstract [en]

Aircraft structural parts are important and high-value parts used to constitute the frame of the aircraft, and are usually produced by NC machining, where the machining parameters are significant for the machining quality, efficiency, and cost. In the process planning, there are hundreds or even thousands of machining operations that require separate machining parameters, which is a huge task for the existing optimization-based methods that rely on iterative optimizations. Due to the complex structures and high requirements, the existing expert system-based methods require plenty of additional modifications. Recently, with the development of artificial intelligence, data-driven methods are used in machining parameter planning, which mines the knowledge and rules hidden in the historical data. However, the existing data-driven models require a large amount of training data and lack interpretability. To address this issue, this paper proposes an informed machine learning method for machining parameter planning, which introduces multiple prior constraints into the data-driven model. First, the part model is represented as an attribute graph, and the cutting area of each machining operation is correlated to a subgraph, which is used to obtain the vectorized representation of machining operation that covers cutting area and process information. Then, by fitting the mapping between the vectorized machining operation and the machining parameters, the knowledge and rules are learned. Next, to introduce prior constraints into the data-driven model, the constraint loss is designed and incorporated into the original loss function. The proposed method can generate machining parameters for all the machining operations in batch, thereby greatly reducing the human interactions. In the case study, the historical processing files of aircraft structural parts are used to train the proposed model for planning cutting width, cutting depth, spindle speed, and machining feedrate. The results show that the demand for training data is reduced and the prediction accuracy is improved with prior constraints.
