INTRODUCTION ACRYLIC

Belongs to the family of man made or synthetic plastics. Have excellent mechanical properties and provide an easy replacement of glass.
Wide range of application in engineering, medical and domestic fields e.g. Aquariums, Sandals, in Furniture, Aircraft windows, Motor bike visors. [1] 2

 During the drilling process, heat is generated at tool work interface.

Heat depend upon the various factors such as speed, feed and tool geometry. This heat changes the dimensions of the drilled hole. It cause the trouble during assembly and poor surface finish. [1]

Irfan Khan, Mukesh Verma , S .S Mann. ( 2012)

Optimization of burr height in drilling of commercial Acrylic sheet using Taguchi method

higher cutting speeds and higher feed rate produces better results with higher tool angle (140 degree)[2].

DRILLING TAGUCHI

C.C. Tsaoa, H. Hochengb (2008)

force and surface roughness in drilling composite material using Taguchi analysis and neural network

the feed rate and the drilldiameter are recognized as the most significant factors affecting the thrust force, while the feed rate and spindle speed are seen to make the largest contribution to the surface roughness[3]

DRILLING TAGUCHI

Alper Uysal , MirigulAltan& Erhan Altan (June 2011)

Effects of cutting parameters on tool wear in drillingof polymer composite

response of the S/N ratios and ANOVA showedthat cutting speed was the least effective factor while feed was the most significant followed by the drill point angle for minimum tool 6 wear[4]

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
During drilling of commercial acrylic sheet due to heat generated at tool work interface drilled hole get expanded.

This causes trouble during assembly & poor surface finish.

EXPERIMENTATION
Drilling is to be done on RADIAL DRILLING MACHINE as shown in Fig.

Analysis approaches like ANOVA is to be used for analysis using TAGUCHI METHOD

ANALYSIS
For analysis Taguchi L 18 orthogonal array is chosen

A - SPEED

B - TOOL ANGLE

C - TOOL MATERIAL

D -ACRYLIC SHEET SIZE

EXPECTED OUTCOME
The level of the best cutting parameters on the Hole Expansion is to be determine.

Taguchi method can successfully verify the

optimum drilling parameters.
