Intelligent-ANFIS Model for Predicting Measurement of Surface Roughness and Geometric Tolerances in Three-Axis CNC Milling

Abstract

Machinery is one of the major fields that impact the growth of the country. Computer numerical control (CNC) plays a vital role in manufacturing machining parts. Each product manufactured from CNC has its performance index requirements based on its usage. The performance indexes, such as surface roughness and geometric tolerances, are important for any CNC machined product. The performance index values are affected by several controllable and uncontrollable parameters, among which the controllable parameters can be tuned to get the desired performance index values. Hence, in this article, we proposed an intelligent prediction model to predict the performance index values, such as surface roughness and geometric tolerances, considering the controllable machining parameters as the input for the model. The experimental results show that the performance index can be predicted effectively with various CNC machining parameters. Therefore, the model can be useful for the manufacturers for achieving the desired performance index values.
