Multi-Objective Optimization of Cutting Parameters and Toolpaths in Pocket Milling Considering Energy Savings and Machining Costs
Résumé
Productivity gains and minimum environmental impacts is the new challenge faced by enterprises, industries, and researchers. Mechanical machining is one of the widely used techniques in manufacturing. So, it’s important to accurately and effectively estimate and optimize the overall ecological and economic footprint. Since, cutting energy and machining cost is proportional to machining time, production-costs minimization could be achieved by embracing machining time reduction strategies. These may include the use of more efficient toolpath strategies that reduces machining time, therefore, ecological and economic costs. In the literature, many studies have focused on minimizing cost and environmental impact by examining the entire machining process, while the environmental/economic flow of toolpaths is relatively unexplored. The implementation and selection of a cutting path strategy with appropriate cutting parameters has a significant impact on machining costs. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of toolpath strategies in pocket machining. The cutting parameters considered are cutting speed, feed, depth of cut and feed. The aim will be addressed by means of using Taguchi parameter design. This could further raise the integrity of sustainable machining strategies in an earlier step of machining processes.
