CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to study on three main controllable parameter that has to be
consider in CNC lathe in term of roundness. The three main parameters are speed, depth
of cut and feed rate. This study also determines which parameter has the big influence in
roundness. In order to get the result several work piece will go through machining
operation. The material that use is Aluminum 6161. During the operation the parameter
will be change in every sample. The parameter are been setup by applying the Design of
Experiment (DOE). After machining, the sample will be test using MAHr CNC
Roundness Tester Machine. After that, all the roundness result will be compare again
three parameters. From the result it will produce the standard parameter and from that
also can know the parameter that effects the most in roundness.

SCOPE

Scope of this project is conducting a machining operating using the CNC lathe machine
to study the parameter in term of roundness. The machine that be used is CNC Lathe
Machine Model Haas SL-20 manufactured by HAAS Automation Inc. The parameters
that involve in this analysis are depth of cut; cutting speed and feed rate are set followed
to the Design of Experiment (DOE).The material that used is solid cylinder aluminum
6061 with 30mm diameter. The other parameters are constant such as coolant and many
more. The roundness test will be using the Mahr Formtester MMQ44 at the metrology
lab and method that be used of each sample is least Square Circle Method. The result
analysis will be done base on Factorial Design analysis using Minitab software.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Roundness is one of geometrical tolerance that needs to be maintain when machining
cylindrical part. To obtain good tolerance of roundness three controllable parameter
need to be controlled. The parameters are depth of cut, speed (rpm) and feed rate that is
setup by the operator in the program. However, the value of parameters depends on the
size of the work piece to be machined. These controllable parameters are usually
adjusted to get the fine quality of roundness.

Before this there are no appropriate parameters when cutting the aluminum 6061 in term
of roundness. Hence, this study will develop the appropriate parameter for the CNC
lathe machine model SL-20 for this material.

This experiment also tries to get which parameter that affects the most in cutting
aluminum 6061. There is previous research that related to this study and therefore on
this experiment try to verify those research.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW

A literature review was conducted to gain knowledge about the roundness and parameter
that effect in roundness using CNC lathe. There were a lot of articles about the cutting
parameter and roundness but only the little is related with these researches. In additional
to the literature search done at the library, discussion with those familiar with this
project and gathered more articles from internet. Even the gathered research article is not
directly to this project, it still helping reader for understanding these researches and also
for their study. The literature review will include in the machine, roundness, material,
parameter, Design of Experiment and roundness tester.

2.1.1 CNC Lathe Machine Model Haas SL-20

For this PSM project will use CNC lathe model SL-20 series from Haas Automation that
available in FKP laboratory. CNC lathes are designed to meet the needs of modern
machine shops, now and long into the future. The SL Series offers a wide range of
capacities, and our space-saving Big Bore option increases capacity further while
retaining the original footprint. The SL-20, with a max turning capacity of 10.3" x 20"
and an 8.3" chuck, has a bar capacity of up to 2.0".

SL- 20 high-performance turning centers also feature massive headstock castings with
symmetric ribs for rigidity and thermal stability; on-the-fly wyes-delta switching for
peak performance throughout the rpm range; and embedded chip trays and high-volume
coolant systems for efficient chip removal. For control features advanced tool
management, single-button features, 15-inch color LCD monitor and a USB port. With
this feature it raised CNC turning to new levels of reliability, ease and productivity.

To simplify the ordering process, first determine the size of lathe needed to meet job
requirements, and then select the options, such as a hydraulic tailstock, versatile live
tooling, the automated Servo Bar 300 bar feeder, or the Big Bore option for larger bar
capacity in the original footprint. Options may be ordered in pre-packaged groups, or
selected individually for a custom configuration (Haas Automation Inc. 2008).

2.1.3 Fundamental of CNC lathe cutting (Graham T.smith, 2002)

There are two main factors influence a cutting process, which are independent variables
and dependent variables. The dependent variables that are influences by changes in the
independent variables such as:


Force and energy dissipated in the cutting process.



Temperature rise in the workpiece, the chip, and the tool.



Wear and failure of the tool.



Surface finish produced on the workpiece after machining.

The major independent variables in the cutting process are follows:

2.2



Tool material, coating, and tool condition.



Tool shape, surface finish, sharpness.



Work pieces material, condition, and temperature.



Cutting parameter such as speed, feed rate, and depth of cut.



Cutting fluid.



The characteristic of machine tool, such as its stiffness and damping.



Work holding and fixtures.

Roundness

In all manufacturing process roundness is one of the important things. In order to get the
best roundness it affected by lot of factors like cutting tool, depth of cut, cutting speed,
feed rate, type of material, coolant and many more. Roundness or out of roundness can
be as the radial deviation of the actual profile from the ideal roundness. When the
parameters are not selected properly it will effect the roundness of the product. If the

8

speed increase and feed decreases, loss of precision in roundness tends to increase
(Engineering statistic handbook, 2007)

2.2.1 Roundness measurement

The measurement of roundness can be made by two ways. The first way is to use
Coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and the second one is using MAHr Roundness
Tester Machine. Using roundness tester machine the machine will compare the
roundness from the product with actual sample roundness result. Three measurement of
roundness were taken at different location.

2.2.1.1 Method in Measure Roundness

Measurements of roundness require 360° traces of the workpiece made with a turntabletype instrument or a stylus-type instrument. A least squares fit of points on the trace to a
circle define the parameters of noncircularity of the workpiece. A diagram of the
measurement method is shown below (Engineering statistic handbook, 2007).

Figure 2.3: The diagram shows the trace and Y, the distance from the spindle center to the trace at the
angle (Engineering statistic handbook, 2007)

9

They are four reference circles are internationally accepted for roundness measurements.
They are:

i. Maximum radius inscribing circle (MIC);[6] The MIC is the largest circle just
contained by the profile of a work piece. It is also known as the plug gauge circle and is
intended for shafts (Guru S.M and Tsai D.M, 1998).


A circle is drawn within all the data and is expanded until it is constrained by
three valleys (David Whitehouse, 2002).



The center obtains by this method need not to be unique (David Whitehouse,
2002).



For this method there is ambiguity if there are two equally good centers like
in the dumbbell shape (David Whitehouse, 2002).

Two maximum
circumscribing circles
of same amplitude but
different centers

Figure 2.4: Problem with plug gauge method (Engineering statistic handbook, 2007)

ii. Minimum radius circumscribing circle (MCC) (Guru S.M and Tsai D.M, 1998).


The MCC is the smallest circle that just contains the profile of a work piece.
It is also known as the ring gauge circle and is intended for holes (Guru S.M
and Tsai D.M, 1998).



A circle is drawn around all the data and then shrunk onto to the data to get
the minimum size circle (David Whitehouse, 2002).



This has to have just three point of contact between the data and the circle
(David Whitehouse, 2002).
