Analyzing of the sensitivity of chip formation during machining process

Abstract

Purpose

The paper aims to analyze chip formation during machining process since it can be a very important indicator for the quality of the machining process, as some chip forms can be undesirable.

Design/methodology/approach

It is essential to determine the sensitivity of the chip formation on the basis of different machining parameters. The main goal of the study was to analyze the sensitivity of the chip formation during the machining process by using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS).

Findings

According to the results, the chip formation is the most sensitive to feed rate.

Originality/value

Different cutting tests were performed to monitor the chip formation on the basis of the cutting forces and the cutting displacement. ANFIS was used to estimate the sensitivity of the chip formation during the cutting process on the basis of different parameters.
