Abstract

For efficient use of machine tools at optimum cutting condition, it is necessary to find a suitable optimization model which can find optimum feasible solution rapidly and explain the constraint well. As the actual turning process parameter optimization is highly constrained and non linear, a design of experiment of full factorial is used to find the optimum cutting condition and to get clear idea of constraints at the optimum condition. This report has focused on an experiment on finding the optimum machining parameters for precision cutting of thin wall cylinder. It included the turning process and the measurement machine such as coordinate measurement machine(CMM), optical comparator as a tester to check the diameter of the hole making. In this study, a ferrous metal (mild steel) product is running in parallel or irregular shape so a design of experiment (DOE) can conduct an experiment to obtain the most optimum parameters such as feed rate, cutting speed and clamping force. Designs of 16 experiments with different parameters are used in this study. The material will be run into the CNC lathe machine with different parameters that have been fixing by the design of experiment table to fulfill the main objective of this study. The measurement machine such as coordinate measurement machine are used for examine the accuracy of the hole diameter and ovality. The result will be generated by using Minitab v15 software by entering all the measurements data and some graph will be plotted in order to find the main effect which is significant. From these three parameters, the factors that give the main effect in cutting quality will be determined. This result will be used to find the suitable values or level combination to produce the good quality in turning operation.
