Abstract

Manufacturing industries are now facing stiff competition for maximum

productivity with minimum environmental hazards under threats of global

warming. CNC turning converts a cylindrical raw material into semi-finished

or finished job by removing excess raw material with a single point cutting

tool using shear force. In the present investigation, 20 no. of experiments have

been conducted following Design of Experiments. Spindle speed, feed rate, &

depth of cut are taken as input parameter, where the responses are material

removal rate (MRR), surface roughness (Ra) and, power (P) in CNC turning

centre. Three mathematical models for each of the responses are developed

using response surface methodology (RSM). Swarm based intelligence

method, genetic algorithm is used to find out the maximum MRR, minimum

Ra while keeping the energy consumption minimum. Conflicting objectives

are represented by Pareto front. The simulation process reveals that minimum

power consumption is 0.269 kW while maximum MRR is 1203.392 and

minimum Ra is 0.316 while the input parameters i.e., speed, feed, and depth of

cut are 800, 50.002, and 0.5 respectively.

1. INTRODUCTION

A sustainable manufacturing process is described as the creation of manufactured

products efficiently with minimum negative environmental impacts. It also conserves

the energy as well as natural resources. Manufacturing industries are prime support of

any economy. Productivity as well as cost of unit production play key role for

sustainability in manufacturing. Energy consumption contributes a significant part in

cost of production. Moreover, people are more concerned nowadays, about the

environment deterioration, resource depletion, greenhouse emission and global

warming. Sustainable manufacturing has been widely identified as a significant field

of fundamental research. If energy consumption can be reduced then companies can

save money and can also achieve a better sustainable performance. To improve

energy efficiency of manufacturing processes, it requires some knowledge about

relation among the input parameters (Spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut) &

power consumption. This paper aims to explore the relation between process

parameters (i.e., spindle speed, feed rate & depth of cut) and power consumption

during manufacturing processes.

Discussions on judicious use of energy in machine are more frequent nowadays due to

global warming. Further, this has become more important with the invention and

induction of CNC machine tools. A CNC machine tool consists of various motors and

auxiliary components whose consumption of energy can vary strongly during any

machining operation. As for example, during roughness operation, operation by the

spindle drive and the coolant system work near the related power of the motor with a

high removal rate, while the power consumption is significantly lower. Mathematical

model of cutting power is formulated as

𝑃𝐶 =(𝐷𝑜𝑐×𝑓×𝑠×𝑘𝑐)

60×103×𝜂 …………………………………………… [1]

Where,

Pc is actual cutting power (kW)

Doc is Depth of cut (mm)

f is feed per revolution (mm/rev)

s is cutting speed (m/min)

kc is specific cutting force (MPa)

η is machine coefficient

Mathematical model of surface quality:

It is appreciated in engineering that no product can be manufactured exactly to the

desired size and shape. There will be always some deviation from the desired shape

due to uncontrollable factors involved in the process. Quality of any machined surface

apart from the derivation from the basic size is measured by various parameters like

surface roughness, waviness, flaw, lay etc. Amongst these, surface roughness is the

most important parameter which is measured as the derivation from a mean line in a

closed space on the surface. This is also known as arithmetic roughness value or

centre line average and mathematically represented as,

𝑅𝑎 =1

Where,

Ra is arithmetic average deviation from a mean position and denoted by AA.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

Many researchers have conducted researches upon environmental impact of

machining. Tao Peng et al. [1] conducted two case studies to verify that energy

estimation for different machining systems based on STEPNC data, and performed

energy analysis with adapted parameters. Bilga et al. [2] performed an experimental

analysis with multi-layer coated tungsten carbide insert for the CNC rough turning of

alloy steel. They studied the effect of some input process variables viz. cutting speed,

feed rate, depth of cut and also nose radius along with their interactions. Q. Zhong et

al. [3] conducted three tasks. At first, specific energy consumption was identified as

an optimization objective. Second, it was based on the candidate options, and decision

rules were proposed for selecting optimal cutting parameters for achieving energy

consumption as minimum. And third one was the decision rules which were applied

with experimental data of rough external turning. C. Ahilan et al. [4] proposed the

development of neural network models for the forecast of machining parameters in

CNC turning. Experiments were performed with cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut

and also nose radius for the process parameters, surface roughness and power

consumption as a response. H. Jain et al. [5] use Inconel-625 in CNC machining with

Taguchi Methods and analysis the method. The main objective of this investigation

was to obtain an optimal setting of process parameters in turning to maximize the

material removal rate of the manufactured component. An experimental work

associated to the optimization of cutting parameters in rough turning of AISI T6

aluminium was performed by Carmita Camposeco-Negrete [6]. Here surface

roughness and energy consumption was minimized, and MRR was maximized. S.

Dambhare et al. [7] investigated sustainability issues relevant to turning process. They

considered surface roughness, material removal rate and energy consumption as

sustainability factors. Deepak D et al. [8] optimized the process parameter i.e., cutting

speed, feed rate and depth of cut for minimum surface roughness produced on the

machined component. M.F. Rajemi ei al. [9] developed a new model and as well as a

new methodology for a machined product by optimising the energy footprint in

turning process. K. Planikumar et al. [10] investigated for optimal machining

conditions for minimizing the surface roughness and maximizing the metal removal

rate using RSM and formed a second-order response surface model for the surface

roughness. Dilbag Singh et al. [11] optimized the tool geometry and cutting

parameters for hard turning and developed a mathematical model for centre line

average (Ra) using genetic algorithm. A. Garg et al. [12] used soft computing methods

for surveying the mechanism of material removal in turning of AISI H11 Steel. P.

Suresh et al. [13] ventured multi-performance characteristics to observe the optimum

level of machining parameters in turning of Al−SiC−Gr hybrid composites by using

grey-fuzzy algorithm. C.L. He et al. [14] established a theoretical as well as empirical

coupled surface roughness prediction model for the turned surfaces of diamond. R.

Venkata Rao et al. [15] optimized the aspects of process parameters of a multi-pass

turning operation using teaching–learning-based optimization algorithm. Hrelja

Marko et al. [16] presented a paper and showed an elementary approach towards

solving machining optimization parameters. Ilhan Asiltürk et al. [17] presented

optimization of CNC turning parameters by combined application of the Taguchi

method and the RSM and developed a robust CNC turning operation.

The works mentioned above shows that many efforts had been made in the direction

of optimization of cutting parameters to minimized the power consumption .

Nevertheless, very few efforts have been made for minimum power consumption in

CNC turning of aluminium which is the main concern for sustainable manufacturing

and relevant in today’s manufacturing world.

Therefore, in this research comparison has been drawn to highlight the power

consumption during the variation of cutting process parameters keeping others

constant. The graphical representations have been shown which reflects the variation

of power consumption with different parameters during cutting. The model equations

were formed using response surface regression method and further optimizations have

been performed using genetic algorithm. The results are validated, conformation

experiment have been performed for the optimal machining parameters.

3. MODELLING AND OPTIMIZATION

Modelling of a physical system is a mathematical representation with symbols and

notations, which describes the behavior of the individual component as well as the

interactions among them. A good model describes the system accurately as well as it

should be mathematically simple.

Response Surface Methodology abbreviated as RSM is a technique to model a

physical system generally used for three or more than three dimensional

representation. Generally, a quadratic relationship (second order) is considered for the

modeling purpose as the second order model is more flexible function. Generally, non

linier, second order model is represented as follows:

𝑦 = 𝑏0 + ∑ 𝑏𝑖𝑖𝑥𝑖 + ∑ 𝑏𝑖𝑖𝑥𝑖2 + ∑ ∑ 𝑏𝑖𝑗𝑥𝑖𝑥𝑗 + 𝜀𝑖=𝑗

𝑛𝑖=1

𝑛𝑖=1 [3]

Where,

y is the output of the model, frequently called response.

Optimization is a systematic technique to find out the maximum or minimum value of

a function among the various combinations of input parameters. This technique can be

either gradient based or non-gradient based. Main difficulties of gradient based

optimization are that during search it may reach to a local minimum or maximum

value. Considering these types of difficulties, swarm based intelligence have been

evolved. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is the first swarm based intelligent algorithm where

maximum or minimum value of the function is obtained using the basic principle of

survival of the fittest. The steps involved in GA can be enumerated as follows:

1. Generate number of suitable solutions arbitrarily of the problem (objective

function) which is considered as n chromosomes.

2. Measure and evaluate the fitness of the solutions of each chromosome.

3. Generate new populations by crossover, mutation and acceptance just like

biological genetics.

4. Replace the newly generated population to search the better value.

5. If the pre-assumed condition is satisfied.

4. EXPERIMENTATION

20 no. of experiments are conducted on a CNC turning centre under dry machining

condition for minimum environmental pollution. The no. of experiment are

determined through design of experiment (DOE) and response surface methodology

(RSM) is used for modelling purpose. The levels of cutting parameters where selected

according to the cutting tool and CNC lathe specifications (table 3). It shows, three

variables and the corresponding three levels of each variable i.e., the coded variable

values as-1, 0 and 1 correspond to the lowest, middle and highest levels of each

variable.

In this work, a commercially available software package i.e., Minitab is used to find

out the regression constant and exponents. This model is used to predict the behaviour

of response with varying process parameters. In this study, the table (Table 4) gives

three responses: cutting power per second, material removal rate and surface

roughness Ra on three factors (spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut).

20 no. of experiments have been carried out in MTAB CNC turning centre (Fig. 3).

Aluminium is taken as work material and coated carbide is taken as cutting tool. The

no. of experiments is determined by using design of experiments (DOE).

5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

Since, the intention is to find out the influence of each parameters on each of the

response parameters, in each case the parameters is chosen as variable and other two

are kept constant. Thus the value of Table 5, 6 and 7 is obtained. The values of MRR,

Ra and Power consumption for all experiments with combination of machining

parameters were carried out are shown in tables 5, 6 and 7. The results obtained from

experiment (Table 4) are arranged three sections plotted figs.5, 6 and 7

As obvious that as the depth of cut increases power consumption also increases. But

the matter of fact is that there is a variation of rate of increase of power consumption.

It can be seen from the graph (fig. 5) that power consumption increases if the of depth

of cut increases. Here, also rate of increase power consumption is different interval of

depth of cut. As for example, rate of increase of power consumption in the range of

0.2 to 0.4 is less than 0.4 to 0.6 ranges.

Similarly it can be seen observed from (fig. 6). There is a variation of rate of increase

in different range that feed rate increases power consumption also increases.

Similarly variation of power consumption during variation of spindle speed may be

observed in fig. 7.

Quadratic model have been assumed for second order regression analysis. It is also

assumed there is strong interaction among spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut.

For modelling purpose MINITAB 16 statistical commercial have been used. Second

full quadratic model is used, because it is that strong interactions between spindle

speed, feed rate and depth of cut exist. Mathematical models for material removal rate

(MRR), surface roughness (Ra) and power consumption is given as under.

A particular type of objective function which is used to summarize it as a single figure

how close a given solution design is achieving the set aims is fitness function. In this

present research, three fitness functions are used in order to get the optimum results in

MRR, Surface roughness and power consumption. Output responses and input

variables are taken as follows

MRR = y (1);

Surface Roughness = y (2);

Power Consumed = y (3);

Where,

x(1) = Spindle speed;

x(2) = Feed rate;

x(3) = Depth of cut;

input parameters like speed, feed and depth of cut. It is found that increment of

spindle speed, increases the power consumption. It is further found that rate of

increase of power consumption is greater in the range of 1000 to 1200 than range of

1200-1400. It is further observed that power consumption is greater in the range of 75

to 100 than the range of 50 to 75 in case of feed rate. Also rate of power consumption

is greater for depth of cut in the range of 0.2 to 0.4 than 0.4 to 0.6. Three conflictive

objective functions for power consumptions, MRR and surface roughness are

optimized using Genetic Algorithm. Using Genetic Algorithm, Pareto front developed

for these conflicting objective functions and compared. Conformance experiments

were performed and it is observed that optimized results are well within acceptance

limit.
