RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Vasilko, Karol T1 Improving the drilling process by its adaptive control JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2020 VO 20 IS 2 SP 265 OP 269 DO 10.21062/mft.2020.021 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-202002-0001.php AB Experience with the use of NC machine tools shows that cutting conditions cannot be optimized without a more detailed knowledge of the machining process. The essence of the adaptive machining system lies in the response to he machining conditions (change in allowance, cutting width, material hardness). In doing so, it allowance a constant selected parameter, e. g. cutting force.
