the use of the following: • • • • • • • High machining speeds High feed rates Multiple cutting tools Staking multiple parts Minimization of secondary (noncutting) time Automatic feeding and tool-changing mechanisms High power densities Production quantity is crucial in determining the type of automation required to produce parts economically The related equipment is selected from the knowledge of inherent capabilities and limitations dictated by the production rate and quantity The choice depends on cost factors and breakeven charts constructed for this purpose Depending on the number of parts to be machined, one of the following scenarios will be adopted: Jobbing production (1–20 pieces): Stand-alone general-purpose machines with manual control, requiring the smallest capital outlay, are used for this purpose Their operation is labor intensive Labor 496 Fundamentals of Machining Processes costs not drop significantly with increasing batch size (Figure 16.4); thus, such machines are best suited to one-off and small batch or jobbing production The operator may be a highly skilled artisan or, in case of repetitive production, may be semiskilled operator These equipment provide high part flexibility (variety) Turret and capstan lathes are preferred than manually controlled machines for batch sizes greater than those indicated by point A (Figure 16.4) Batch production (10–5000 pieces): Stand-alone numerical-controlled (NC), CNC, or machining centers are most suitable for small batch production, although, with the trend toward increasing use of friendly programming devices and with the application of GT, batch sizes involving 100–5000 may be economically machined Once the workpiece is clamped on the CNC-machine tool and the reference point is established, machining proceeds with great accuracy and repeatability Nonproductive setup time is particularly nil Therefore, CNC can become economical even for small lots that are widely separated in time (Figure 16.4) The operator may again be highly skilled, this time with some programming knowledge; alternatively, the programs may be provided to the Manual Unit manufacturing A Turret B NC, CNC FMS General purpose automatics Special purpose automatics and flowlines Material cost 10 102 103 Jobbing production Batch production 104 105 Batch size 106 Mass production FIGURE 16.4 Economical approach and batch size Machining Process Selection 497 machine by a part programmer who may be working from the database of a CAD/CAM system In this case, a semiskilled operator performs machine supervision and service functions FMS may be economically adapted for batch sizes exceeding those indicated by point B (Figure 16.4) Mass production (3,000–1,000,000 pieces): In large batch and mass production, flexible lines or automatics (programmable) are most economical, while special-purpose (hard programmed) transfer lines or automatics are limited to the mass production of standard parts (Figure 16.4) In both cases, special-purpose machinery (dedicated machines) is equipped for transferring materials and parts (flow lines) Although machines and specialized tooling are expensive, both labor skills required and labor costs are relatively low However, these equipment and manufacturing systems are generally adapted for a specific type of product, and hence, they lack flexibility The change over from product to another is very costly 16.2.7  Production Cost The economic aspects of machining processes consider the total cost of a product including the cost of material and tooling and fixed, direct, and indirect labor costs Small batches are commonly made on general-purpose machines that are versatile and capable of producing different shapes and sizes Under such conditions, the direct labor costs are higher For large quantities (medium batches), CNC machines or jigs and fixtures are used, which lead to the reduction of labor cost For larger volumes, the labor costs can further be reduced by using machining centers, flexible machining systems (FMS), or special-purpose machine tools Design for manufacturing (DFM) is one method of achieving high product quality while minimizing the manufacturing cost The following principles aid the designers in specifying components and products that can be produced at minimum cost: Simplicity of the product Standard material and components Standard design of the product Specify liberal tolerances This concept is very important to produce parts accurately and economically Product design recommendations for each operation should be strictly followed by the part designer Design complications should be avoided so that the machining time is reduced, and consequently, the production rate is increased Machine tool and operation capability in terms of possible accuracy and surface integrity should also be considered, so that the best 498 Fundamentals of Machining Processes technology, machine tool, and operation are selected To that end, it is recommended to consider the following: Use the most machinable materials available Avoidance of secondary operations such as deburring, inspection, plating, painting, and heat treatment Design should be suitable for the production method that is economical for the quantity required Utilizing special process capabilities to eliminate many operations and the need for separate costly components Avoiding process restrictiveness and allowing manufacturing engineers the possibility of choosing a process that produces the required dimensions, surface finish, and other characteristics 16.2.8  Environmental Impacts The possible hazards of the selected machining technology may affect the operator’s health, the machine tool, and the surrounding environment (Figure 16.5) Reduction of such hazards requires careful monitoring, analysis, understanding, and control toward environmentally clean machining technology The hazards generated by the cutting fluids have led to the introduction of the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), cryogenic machining, and dry machining techniques Noise/vibrations: During machining, vibrations and noise components are generated Noise levels of 85 dB are the maximum noise level regarded as safe and tolerable for an h exposure When noise levels exceed 90 dB, hearing damage is liable to occur, and therefore earplugs must be worn Flying chips Traditional machining Cutting fluid Hazard effect on labor Noise Hazard effect on machines FIGURE 16.5 Traditional machining hazards Hazard effect on soil Vibrations Hazard effect on air Machining Process Selection 499 Flying chips: Flying chips form a major hazard and risk on operator as they fly from the machine during the cutting process Flying particles such as metal chips may result in eye or skin injuries or irritation Grinding, cutting, and drilling of metal and wood generate airborne particles that affect the respiratory system Under such circumstances, it is always recommended to wear safety glasses, goggles, or shields and use of proper ventilation Cutting fluids: Cutting fluids contain many chemical additives that can lead to skin and respiratory diseases and increased danger of cancer This is mainly caused by the constituents and additives of the cutting fluids as well as the reaction products and particles generated during the machining process Unfortunately, spoiled or contaminated cutting fluids are the most common wastes from the machining process that are considered hazardous wastes to the environment due to their oil content, chemical additives, chips, and dust During machining, at high cutting speeds (>3500 m/min), high temperature is generated in the machining zone that vaporizes fluids and metal particles These emissions enter the atmosphere thus forming a complex mixture of vapors and fumes containing elements of the workpiece, cutting tool, and cutting fluids Cutting fluids have negative health effects on the operators that appear as dermatological, respiratory, and pulmonary effects Exposure to mists caused by the cutting fluids raises worker’s susceptibility to respiratory problems that depends on the level of chemicals and particles contained in generated mists Table 16.8 shows the various sources of hazards and risk associated with a variety of conventional and nonconventional machining operations 16.2.9  Process and Machine Capability A measure of the process capability is attained when meeting customer requirements by comparing the machining process limits to the required tolerance limits The process capability index Cpk measures the variability of a process 6σ and compares it with a proposed upper tolerance limit (UTL) and a lower tolerance limit (LTL) as shown in Figure 16.6:  (X − LTL) ( UTL − X )  or CPk =   3σ 3σ  where ‾ is the mean of the process X σ is the standard deviation of the process If Cpk is greater than 1.00, then the process is capable of meeting design specifications If it is less than 1.00, then the process will generate defects Metal cutting ECM CHM EDM LBM USM AJM Risk Hazard Type Machining Process Hazard Source X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X Environmental

Distribution of individual values Process spread Lower tolerance limit (LTL) FIGURE 16.6 Process capability chart The process capability ratio (Cp) measures the capability of a process to meet design specifications It is defined as the ratio of the range of the tolerance to the range of process spread, which is typically ±3σ (Figure 16.6): CP = (UTL − LTL) 6σ Therefore, if Cp is less than 1.0, the process range 6σ is greater than the tolerance range (UTL–LTL) A process capability ratio Cp greater than 1.0 indicates that the process is capable of meeting specifications In such a case, no defective parts will be produced Machine Capability: Since a dispersion of ±3σ is expected in manufacturing, it is usual to compare 6σ to the tolerance to express the machine capability (MC) as MC = 6σ × 100% (UTL − LTL) If MC is greater than 100%, the MC is poor and defective parts will be produced At MC = 100%, the machine is just capable, and when MC
