Optimization of Cutting Parameters in CNC Turning by using Taguchi Method: A Review

Abstract

The growing competition in the modern era for high productivity with high quality surface finish has emerged the need of using high quality machining tool. The influence of cutting parameters in the turning process mainly affects the surface roughness and machining time. The significant performance measures in turning of different materials are mainly cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, cutting fluids which affects the surface roughness of the required material. This paper reviews the optimisation of cutting parameters in turning process using Taguchi and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The performance characteristics were checked by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to find out which input parameter dominates the most during the turning process on CNC lathe. Signal to Noise ratio(S/N) is used to compare the level of desired output parameters.
