Optimization of the Parameters of Broaching Machining Mode by Using the Method of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)

Abstract

Optimally chosen parameters of the processing mode directly influence total costs of production of a single product and therefore the profit of the company as well. In this paper, the choice of optimum parameters of the broaching processing mode by using the method of particle swarm optimization (PSO) is shown. The goal of optimization is represented through the goal function (optimization function or optimization criterion) and by using the method of optimization PSO, minimum costs of machining process are obtained. Optimization function is also represented graphically for the purpose of clearer analysis on the technological area in which the values of machining mode that give minimum costs of machining process are presented.
