Abstract This article discusses plasma cutting technology and its influences on the quality of the resulting cut. Plasma or a plasma arch consists of positive and negatively charged particles, excited and neutral atoms and molecules. As it contains free particles, it is electrically conductive and thus subject to the effects of the electrical and magnetic field. The basis of CNC machine design is described in the article, which has at least 3 axes (x, y, z), but there are also more technologically demanding applications, such as pipe cutting, profile and cutting using chamfer to prepare surfaces for welding, where these multi-axis devices are frequently used. The principle of plasma cutting and the plasma cutting phase is described in this article. The materials that can be divided by a plasma arc are described in detail, including graphs displaying the dependence of sheet thickness on the cutting speed. The article describes and lists the gases that are used in plasma-arc cutting, such as oxygen, argon, hydrogen and nitrogen. Important components of plasma cutting technology are the parameters that can be adjusted and set before the cutting so that the cut is of good quality. The most comprehensive chapter deals with the influences that affect plasma cutting quality. Cutting quality can be influenced by a number of factors. Everything starts with the proper choice of a CNC machine and a plasma source. The quality also depends on the expertise and experience of the machine operator and the setting of the plasma cutting parameters. This issue of influences on the plasma cutting quality is based on long-term experience in the field of the thermal cutting process.

. An understanding of the dynamic characteristics of a CNC machine is a vital element in the control of the machine which has a direct effect on the machining precision. The ways in which energy is dissipated, such as friction and damping, have a significant effect on the dynamic behavior and spindle vibration of a CNC machine. The paper presents kinetic analysis of the CNC machine damper system, effect of the damper and the cutting parameters such as feed rate, cutting speed, and cutting depth on the dynamic behavior and spindle vibration of a CNC machine. Experimental results have established a second-order regression equation that demonstrates the effect of three parameters such as feed rate, cutting speed, and cutting depth on the vibration amplitude of the spindle. In addition, the comparison results show that the spindle head vibration amplitude of the machine using the damper is smaller than the spindle head vibration amplitude of the machine not using the damper.

In orthopedic surgery, it is easy to do harm to surrounding tissues, so the study of bone cutting is necessary. In this article, a finite element model (FEM) of orthogonal bone cutting is developed. Cutting force intra-operatively can provide the surgeon with additional on-line information to support him to control quality of cutting surface. The obtained cutting force decreased little with cutting speed increasing, but ascended evidently with cutting depth increasing. The results of finite element simulations are aimed at providing optimization of cutting parameters and the basic information for hybrid force-velocity control of a robot-assisted bone milling system.

This report focuses on the different methods to improve productivity at the management level, at the machine shop, and of machining methods. The various parameters affecting machining productivity i.e., cycle time, set-up time, idle time, operator skill level, etc. including how CNC machining helps in optimizing these parameters are discussed and analyzed in this paper. The effect of different cutting parameters like cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, the effect of coolant, etc. is also examined. Various methods of machining for different processes which help to improve the productivity of the process are explored. A case study on machining of an aluminum manifold is done in which the existing process for machining is analyzed and various experiments are performed in order to find out the optimum cutting parameters and minimizing the cycle time of production of the manifold. The result helps to reduce the cycle time by a significant amount thereby reducing the total cost of production and increasing the production rate of the component with negligible capital investment.

This paper presents an experimental research that proposes to determine the influence of process parameters on CO2 laser cutting of 8 mm thick Hardox 400 steel, for which Kerf has a minimum value. The experimental research was conducted according to a complete factorial plan with laser power, assistant gas pressure and cutting speed as the input parameters, and cutting width as the dependable variable. The Design of Experiment (DOE) consisted of 27 references and was completed with four replicas to determine the variation of the Kerf average. Functional, linear and quadratic relations were determined, which describe the Kerf dependence on the cutting parameters in order to establish the most influential parameter. The results show that the independent parameter with the most significant influence was the laser power, with minimum Kerf obtained if the laser power and the assistant gas pressure were adjusted to average values. The interaction between laser power and auxiliary gas pressure at constant cutting speed was investigated to improve Kerf and reduce the laser processing cost. The study offers the right combination of process parameters that leads to a minimum value of the cutting width.

Abstract This paper deals with the influence of the end mill helix angle on the flatness and surface quality of aluminium (EN AW 6082) thin-walled parts. The three teeth solid end mills of 12 mm diameter with same and different helix angle of third tooth were designed. The tests were performed using the HSC 105 linear CNC machine and following cutting parameters: cutting speeds (800, 100 and 1200 m.min−1), feed per tooth (0.12 mm), cutting depth (for roughing 10 mm and for finishing 5 mm). Evaluation of surface quality of the processed thin-walled parts shows that the helix angle of the end mills has a significant influence on the surface quality of the thin-walled parts. The best results were obtained in the case of end mill with different 35° helix angle of third tooth and cutting speed 1000 m.min−1.

In this study, the effect of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut on surface roughness was experimentally examined in the processing of AISI 409 (ferritic chromium stainless steel) material. As cutting parameters, three cutting speeds (200, 300, and 400 m/min), three feed rates (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mm/rev), and three depths of cut (1, 2 and 3 mm) were selected. Turning tests in CNC machine were made according to Taguchi L27 orthogonal array and the signal/noise (S/N) ratios were used in the evaluation of the experimental results. By using Taguchi method, cutting parameters giving the optimum surface roughness (Ra and Rz) values were determined. The effect of control factors on the results was found with the help of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). According to ANOVA results, the most important parameters affecting the surface roughness were determined as feed rate, depth of cut, and cutting speed, respectively. By conducting validation tests, the optimization was observed to be applied successfully.
