description

Abstract CNC turning centers (CNCTC) are designed to perform simple turning operations, for parts having a symmetry axis. However, the flexibility of these machine-tools is increasing rapidly. Supplementary modules, such as Y-axis and driven tools, which allow the user to perform milling operations, are fitted on CNCTC. Selecting the proper CNCTC, out of a great number of commercially available solution has become a very difficult task. A combined approach using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy logic is proposed, to assist the decision-making process of choosing between three variants of CNCTC.
