Study of Process Parameters of Drilling Operation of Acrylic Using Design of Experiments (DOE)

Abstract

Drilling operation is the most commonly used machining operation that uses multipoint cutting tool called drill
or drill bit to remove unwanted material for producing or enlarging desire hole. The present study is concerned on the
examination of the process parameters of the drilling process on an acrylic. A statistical approach is used to analyze the
experiment data and it is called as design of experiments (DOE). The technique minimizes the number of test required
and maximizes the amount of reliable information. acrylic is used for the testing. There are three variation of drill bits
and plate thickness are taken to examine the characteristics of thrust and torque at different speed. Such techniques for
investigating variation in parameter can be used in improving manufactured quality and performance.
