Abstract
CNC machine is widely used by manufacturing engineers and production personnel to
quickly and effectively set up manufacturing processes for new products .This study discusses an
investigation into the use of Taguchi Design methodology for Parametric Study of CNC milling
operation for Surface Roughness, Material Removal Rate and Machining time as a response variable.
The Taguchi design method is an efficient experimental method in which a response variable can be
study, using fewer experimental runs. The control parameters for this operation included: Spindle
speed, Feed rate & Depth of cut on EN 19 & EN24 alloy steel. A total of 16 (L16 Orthogonal array)
experimental runs were conducted using an orthogonal array and the ideal combination of control
factor levels was determined for the Surface Roughness, Material Removal Rate and Machining Time.
The Taguchi method is to be employed by using MINITAB-16 software to identify the level of
importance for the machining parameters.
