Abstract

The CNC milling machining process is a very important process in manufacturing products because it affects the profitability of the production process. CAD / CAM programming software tools speed up the process and predict production process time. This study uses CAD / CAM simulation of HSM operations and uses the Taguchi method which is a method that can optimize process variables to get a good response. Process variables chosen are Speed, feed rate, depth of cut, step over, stay on surface and radius link. The type of tool used is an endmill with a diameter of 20 mm SECO Jabro-Solid-JS554 standard. The results of the study stated that the HSM machining simulation process that had a greater influence on machining time was feeding 680 mm / minute and 5 mm depth of cut. The experimental results confirm the ideal time produced is 34.25 minutes.
