Abstract

In a machine cutting process, accuracy cutting, time cutting and zero defect is very important factor because the demand is high to have a high quality product. There are several factors that cause these problem most of the root cause is vibration during start cutting done and the movement of the nozzle during cutting. The other problems are due to design limitations. Tile is brittle material and easily to break especially in the intricate cuts area. There are three objective needs to be achieve in this paper. First is to determine the Material Removal Rate (MRR) of ceramic tile using AWJ and second to study the potential defects at different angle design and the last is to recommended the suitable AWJ cutting parameters to cut ceramic tile materials. Therefore there are three testing to be carried out it is material removal rate experiment, design angle experiment and surface quality experiment. After get the result it can be conclude that whole objective have been achieved. The first objective was achieved after get the suitable pressure thickness, it is a 6mm pressure thickness (machine). The second objective are achieved when able to determine which parameters can cut tile accurately in addition have a low cost. The third objective get achieved after get the suitable pressure thickness versus surface roughness. After doing the observation of three result, one of the best parameter was chosen that is pressure thickness of 6mm in machine.
