THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION STRATEGIES FOR MULTI-PASS ROUGH TURNING OPERATIONS ON CNC AND CONVENTIONAL LATHES IS OUTLINED AND DISCUSSED. THE CONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION IS BASED ON THE CRITERION TYPIFIED BY THE MAXIMUM PRODUCTION RATE WHICH INCLUDES VARIOUS CONSTRAINTS OF RELEVANCE TO ROUGH TURNING SUCH AS MACHINE TOOL MAXIMUM POWER, TORQUE, FORCE AND FEED-SPEED BOUNDARIES. THE APPROACH ADOPTED IN ARRIVING IN THE FINAL GLOBAL OPTIMUM SOLUTION INVOLVES A COMBINATION OF MATHEMATICAL OPTIMIZATION ANALYSES AND LIMITED NUMERICAL SEARCH OPTIMIZATION STRATEGIES AND DEMONSTRATED THE EFFECTS OF MAJOR CUTTING VARIABLES AND THE ECONOMIC SUPERIORITY OF MULTI-PASS STRATEGIES OVER SINGLE PASS.
