An evaluation system for the purpos e of calcul ating equivalent CO_2 emission an d machining cost is develope d based on activity-based model. This developed system can evaluate a machining process from an NC program, workpiece information and cutting tool information, and the n calculate accurate equivalent CO_2 emission and machining cost. Cutting conditi ons especially cutting speed of end mill operation are evaluated from the viewpoint of equivalent CO_2 emission and machining cost. Based on a tendency of the evaluated results, an adequate cutting condition is achieved to minimizing equivalent CO_2 emission and machining cost as much as possible.
