Abstract

In the present day, manufacturing environments is becoming increasingly important to be able to deliver quality products at the right time to the market at competitive costs. The quality, cost and time to market depend not only on the design and manufacturing but also on the inspection process adopted. Design specifications rely on extensive usage of form tolerances to ensure that the functionality of surfaces and features of the product are maximized. In this study, an experimental was carried out to study the impact of surface grinding parameters on flatness. The effectiveness of surface grinding machine process is evaluated in terms of flatness. A study was carried out on the influence of the depth of cut and feed rate by using two types of material that is mild steel and carbon steel. This has been done by mean of the technique of Design of Experiments (DOE). Some of the noise parameter also had been observed by using a vibration meter to measure the value of vibration that affects the flatness of surfaces. The experimental results reveal that the most significant factor that influences flatness is depth of cut followed by feed rate. Carbon steel produces more surface flatness compare with mild steel.
