This paper presents the application of Taguchi method with logical fuzzy reasoning for multiple output optimization of CNC end milling process of Aluminium7075-T6. The machining parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut) are optimized with considerations of the multiple performance measures (surface roughness, material removal rate).The Signal to Noise ratios calculated using Taguchi optimization were used in Fuzzy logic approach which determines the Comprehensive output measure for each combination. The result analysis shows that cutting speed of 8000 rpm, feed rate of 1050 mm/min and 1mm of depth of cut are the most favorable cutting parameters for high speed CNC end milling process. Keywords: comprehensive output measure (COM), high speed CNC end milling, material removal rate, Taguchi-fuzzy hybrid approach, surface roughnessReferences
