12. CASE STUDY ON

IMPROVEMENT OF MACHINING PROCESSES: A CASE STUDY

Abstract

In material removal processes, determination of optimal machining strategy is a key

factor to increase productivity. This situation is gaining more importance when machining
components with complex geometry. The current practice in the determination of machining
strategy mostly depends on the experience of the machine operator. However, poorly
designed machining processes lead to time consuming and costly solutions. Therefore, the
improvement of machining processes plays a vital role in terms of machining costs. In this
study, the machining process of a boom-body connector (GGG40) of a backhoe loader was
improved. Improvements of toolpaths and cutting conditions of 22 different material removal
processes were checked through a CAM software. According to the simulation results, the
process plan was rearranged. Besides, some enhancements in casting model were conducted
to decrease in the number of machining operations. When compared to current practice, a
reduction of 55% in machining time was achieved.

Key words: Cutting condition, tool path, machining time, machining order.

1. Introduction

Machining is a manufacturing process in which a cutting tool is used to obtain desired shape
by cut away unwanted segment of material from a workpiece [1]. As well-known, turning,
milling, and drilling are the most common machining operations. From 1775 (cannon-boring
machine by John Wilkinson) to 1960s (CNC machines), machining has come to a modern
stage and it continues to progress with development of new machining technologies and
methods [2]. An important goal in the machining also is determination of optimal machining
strategy. Optimization of machining processes is very critical in metal cutting industry due to
the increasing demand for high quality and low cost products in the market [3]. Therefore, to
achieve minimum production costs and time, and maximum production rate, machining
operations need to be planned in accordance with optimal machining strategies. In workshop
practices, machining parameters are chosen according to machining databases, catalogues,
handbooks and/or experience of the operator. However, some aspects such as fixture design,

machining order, etc. need to be considered to obtain an optimal process plan of a complex
part. Therefore, a large number of studies related to optimization and improvement of
machining processes have been recently conducted. Rodriguez-Alabanda et al. [4]
investigated the effects of different cutting strategies and cutting parameters on optimization
of surface roughness and energy consumption when machining of Al-Zn-Mg-(Cu) alloy. They

reported that it is possible to reduce energy consumption of 40% and improve surface quality
of 70% with proper selection of cutting strategies. In another study [5], shorter cutting times
and lower cutting forces are achieved with selection of optimal feed rate values when
machining aluminum mold geometry of a bottle. The authors achieved an improvement of
13% in cutting time and a decrease of 70% in maximum forces in finish cutting operations.
The tool paths directly affect finish part quality [6] and machining time [7]. As well-known,
possible toolpaths and collision scenarios between cutting tool and workpiece can be checked
in CAD/CAM software, thus, potential additional time and costs can be prevented. An
optimization study on CNC face milling operation of an aluminum flange (Al-6061-T6) was
performed by Jarosz et al. [8]. They found that it is possible to reduce machining time up to
37% with selection of proper optimization strategy without exceeding imposed machining
parameter limits. In another study, Souza et al. [9] investigated the effects of different tool
path strategies on surface roughness and machining time during finish milling of a mold
cavity.The results showed that when compared to the less appropriate option, selection of an
improvedtool path strategy can decrease the machining time and machining costs by 88% and
40%, respectively.

2. Materials and Method

After examination of process plan of boom-body connector, it is determined that there are 22
different machining operations. In addition, current fixture design for CNC bohrwerk and
existing limitations were analyzed. Then, 3D CAD model of the boom-body connector was
prepared in accordance with the cast product. Thus, improvement studies of the cast model
and tool paths were performed on this model. Tool path improvements were performed with
the aid

DEPT. OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
 INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT ON “IPSUMCAM

of MasterCAM software [11]. Each machining operation was simulated, and the improved
machining time was determined according to simulation results. In addition, possible
collision scenarios between tool and workpiece were checked. Then, a boom-body connector
was machined under improved conditions. The real machining time of improved operations
was determined and correlated with simulation results. Figure 1 indicates an example for
simulation of a milling operation. During the improvement stages, to avoid wasting time
between the successive operations, the order of the required machining operations was
rearranged.

Figure 1. An example for a CAM simulation

After determination of the optimal machining orders, cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed,
and depth of cut) were rearranged according to tool manufacturers recommendations and
some limitations such as vibration and workpiece clamping conditions. In addition, cutting
tools for some operations were also revised. The surface roughness and machining tolerances
were accepted as success criterion for each machining operation. Figure 2 gives the flow
chart of the improvement process in this study.

3. Results and Discussion

3.1. Improvements on cast geometry and cutting method

As a first stage of the improvement studies, possible improvements on casting geometry was
investigated to reduce the number of machining operations. Figure 3 shows the cast geometry
before and after improvement. With adding two new holes on cast geometry (Figure 3), a
drilling operation (operation 2 in Figure 5) was eliminated. Thus, when considering the set up
and machining time, a reduction of 60 min in total operation time was achieved

Figure 3. The pictures of the boom-body connector a) before and b) after improvement on
casting geometry.
addition to improvements on casting geometry, an improvement was also conducted on
cutting methods. Figure 4 indicates an example (operation 9) for cutting method
improvement. As shown in Fig. 4, new cutting method is end milling while previous cutting
method for operation 9 is fly cutting. End milling and its tool path is simpler and more
effective than fly cutting. The significant reductions in setup and machining time were
achieved with new cutting method for operation 9. Besides, better surface quality and higher
cutting parameters (Table 2) were also achieved with new cutting method.

3.2. Improvements on machining order

In order to decrease machining time, previously determined machining orders were

rearranged according to tool path simulation results and tool change order. Thus, minimum
setup time was obtained for each machining condition. Table 1 gives the all the machining
operations of the boombody connector (Figure 4) and previous and improved operation
orders.

New operation orders were determined by successively rearranging the same type machining
operations used same cutting tool. A reduction of about 30% (from 365 min to 254 min) in set
up time was achieved with new machining orders. Figure 4 shows 3D CAD model of the
boom- body connector and its machining operations and orders before (black numbers) and
after (red numbers) improvement process. Red and blue areas indicate the machined surfaces
of the boom-body connector.

 INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT ON “IPSUMCAM

According to the improved cutting conditions, new machining time for each machining
operation was determined. The machining time before and after improvement studies is given
in Figure 6. A significant reduction was achieved in operation 1 with increasing cutting speed,
feed values. In addition, depth of cut value was increased 1.5 times for rough machining. This
strategy was also applied to operation 2 (from 0.5 to 3). In operation 3, considering the
clamping conditions depth of cut value was increased from 1.5 to 2.5 mm for down milling.
In the successive operations, only cutting conditions and tool paths were improved.
Generally, in all operations, cutting parameters were increased, thus an important
improvement was achieved in machining time. In face milling operations (the operations from
1 to 6), the feed rate values were increased and cutting speeds kept almost as it is when
compared to previous values. In majority of the rough and finish boring operations, feed rate
increased significantly and depth of cut values decreased in some operations (operations 11
and 12) to provide rigid machining conditions. On the other hand, in drilling and tapping
operations due to lesser material removal rate and narrow machining parameters range, lesser
increase in productivity was observed generally. Since the number of holes (12 holes) to be
drilled is higher, the most reduction in machining time was observed in operation 17 among
the other drilling operations. In some operations (operation 13), due to surface quality
requirements, cutting parameters were used as it is. When compared to the previous
conditions, a reduction of about 55% (from 1013 min to 458 min) is achieved in machining
time. It was observed that to keep machining time and cost low, the most effective cutting
parameter is depth of cut.

Conclusions

In this study, an improvement process was conducted in machining process of a boom-body

connecter which is a component of a backhoe loader. The results of the study showed that
improvements on casting geometry, cutting method and conditions and machining order
significantly affect the machining time and productivity. According to improvement results,
reductions in setup time and machining time are by about 30% and 55%, respectively. It can
be concluded that improvement of machining strategies for complex parts has a considerable
impact on productivity.
