Abstract

3D milling machine is a machine that use to cut workpiece in three Cartesian coordinate which are x-axis, y-axis and z-axis. As the technology develop, there are many techniques and software that been introduced to help controlling the system. In UTeM, the movement of the machine can be control by using NXT Intelligent Brick (I-Brick) which is a programmable brick of NXT. The brain of the Mindstorms robot can be controlled by installing the Lego Mindstorms NXT software. In order to optimize the milling machine, MATLAB/Simulink been use as the programming environment to design the machine movement. The programming model are designed and been tested to achieved the desired requirements of cutting pattern. The machine parameters that influence the cutting accuracy such as motor voltage, cutting speed and tool bit diameter also has been determined and analysed. To analysed the parameter, it will be tested on the machine itself and the method of optimization using MINITAB software is used as an approach to minimize the number of experiment in a systematic way. The results are analysed and presented in this report.
