Abstract


Drilling is one of the major operations to be carried out in almost every manufacturing industry. During this operation drilling tool drills the metal continuously which increases thrust force. Due to this force, power consumed during drilling operation. So in this research work an attempt to experimentally investigate and then optimization of the effect of different drill parameter like feed and spindle speed on the thrust force, power consumption and energy consumption during drilling operation are studied. The main purpose of this experimental work is saving energy and production cost during drilling operation on mild steel workpiece on lathe machine. Research work basically involved the use of drilling operation on conventional lathe as it is most widely adopted method for machining and also plays a crucial role in affecting energy consumption and overall cost of the production. Power consumption has been measured with the help of a pair of wattmeter in 3 phase motor of lathe machine and then by this power and time during drilling, energy consumption has been found. Once the experimental work had been performed, Taguchi’s method used to evaluate the best possible combination of input parameters for minimizing thrust force, power consumption and energy consumption. ANOVA method has been also used for getting contribution of each parameter on thrust force, power consumption and energy consumption.

Keywords- Power Consumption, Thrust Force, Taguchi’s method, ANOVA, Energy consumption, Spindle speed, Feed
