Abstract

This work investigates the roundness of holes by application of Taguchi methods to BTA deep-hole drilling with reference to process factors. Taguchi methods and statistical techniques are used in experimental layout, in the analysis of each control factor, and in prediction of the optimum setting for control factors. A set of confirmatory tests is then conducted to verify the estimated response. Influences of the control factors are discussed, and the levels of factors that produce holes of desired roundness with sufficient robustness are presented.
