Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for quantification and evaluation of quality interactions in material machining process. The quality of a surface after turning operation depends on the quality of CNC machine structural components and also on the interactions between them. In this paper a methodology for finding quality interactions between the structural components is presented. The full factorial experiments design (135 experiments) has been carried out for measuring the responses of accelerometer and strain gauge. This data is analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and interaction plots. The interactions which are significant are quantified using the ANOVA results. The quantified interactions can be substituted in the quality permanent to find a quality index. The resultant quality index is useful to the customer in evaluating the overall quality of a material machining process for optimal cutting parameter combination.
