Abstract

In this study, a full factorial experimental design technique was applied to determine the optimum feed rate and cutting depth of the workpiece processed by CNC profile cutting machine. As the machining parameters, the lateral burr height, cutting time and the amount of wear on the cutting wheel depending on the feed rate and cutting depth were investigated and found statistically in Minitab 18 package program. In order to compare the cutting times of the profile cutting machines and CNC profile cutting machines used today, time tracking was made. By applying the full factorial method, a total of 25 experiments was carried out in 5 and 5 levels, respectively, as feed rate and cutting depth factors. As a result of the experiment, it was determined that the cutting depth had more effect on the wear on the cutting stone than the feed rate.
