Fuzzy logic modeling of wire-cut EDM process

Intelligent control of any manufacturing process requires an appropriate modeling of the process. Wire-cut EDM, being a highly complex process with non-linear behavior, is modeled by fuzzy logic approach in this paper. The knowledge base for the fuzzy model has been developed using the experimental results. Membership functions are defined for each parameter and a total of 10 input and 2 output parameters are considered to build the model. The results of the fuzzy model are compared with experimental values and a statistical analysis is presented.
