The study investigates the influence of three different drilling kinematic systems on the surface roughness (Rt) of holes machined in quenched-and-tempered 40HM (AISI 4140) steel. A full experimental campaign was carried out using a CNC machining center and solid carbide internal-coolant drills. The spindle speed (n),…

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of large language models (LLMs) capabilities in the machine tool domain, specifically focusing on face milling operations. The research evaluates how different prompt techniques (zero-shot, few-shot, and tree-of-thought) affect LLMs' ability to perform tasks traditionally re…

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are widely used in industry due to their advantageous properties, such as a high strength-to-weight ratio. However, during the pre-paratory processes for bolted or riveted joints, drilling operations often lead to delamination damage, which adversely affects the mechanic…
