Robust Optimization of the Deep Drilling Process by Taguchi Method

Abstract:

The paper presents an optimization by using the robust engineering approach, for the optimization of the deep drilling process by assessing the surface roughness by the R_a parameter. The trials were developed according with the Robust Engineering principles, by applying the Taguchi Method. The parameter for decision is the average profile height (Ra) of the roughness. Finally, there are presented solutions for the setting-up the deep drilling parameters levels in such a way to assure the best quality at the level of the generated surface. The method results to be reliable for being applied for achieving the optimal setup machining parameters used for the deep drilling process.
