Undesirable burrs are created in most of the machining processes. A burr is a plastically deformed material that remains attached at the workpiece edges after machining, and must be removed for making the parts to function effectively. The main objective of the present work is to explore the suitable condition to obtain minimum or negligible burr around the edge of a machined product at wet con...

All process elements of a reconfigurable manufacturing system should accommodate future changes. This paper looks at one such process element, tool paths, with focus on face milling and pocket milling. Tool paths for the first part are designed to optimize the process outcomes for the initial constraints. Change in market conditions or part design leading to change in cycle time requirements, g...

To remain successful in today’s competitive market, the manufacturers should rely on their Engineers and production professionals for quick and effective manufacturing setup and also to achieve Quality products. The machining process on a CNC Milling is programmed by speed, feed rate, and cutting depth, which are frequently determined based on the job shop experiences However, the machine perfo...

Particle size reduction is a simple means to enhance the dissolution rate of poorly water soluble BCS-class II and IV drugs. However, the major drawback of this process is the possible introduction of process induced disorder. Drugs with different molecular arrangements may exhibit altered properties such as solubility and dissolution rate and, therefore, process induced solid state modificatio...
