Electronic manufacturing sector uses Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines for drilling holes on Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Some machines do not choose the optimal route when completing their tasks. Hence, this paper proposes an approach, which is based on my Algorithm Shortest Path Search Algorithm (SPSA), for finding the optimal route in PCB holes drilling process. In SPSA, when the rob...

Deep hole drilling methods are used for drilling holes with a high length-to-diameter ratio, good surface finish and straightness. Due to the slender tool-boring bar combination needed for producing holes with a high length-to-diameter ratio, the process is susceptible to dynamic disturbances. These disturbances can be classified as chatter vibration or spiralling. The work presented in this pa...

BTA 1 deep hole drilling is a method for producing precision bores with high length to diameter ratios. The long and slender tools feature low torsional and bending stiffness. This may lead to undesirable dynamic disturbances of the machining process usually classified as either chatter vibration or spiralling. Prediction and identification of the causes of these process failures is important f...

The aim of this paper is to utilise genetic algorithm approach to investigate the effect of CNC drilling process variables such as spindle speed, drill diameter, material thickness, and feed rate on thrust force and torque generated during the drilling of mild steel plate using H.S.S drill. To find out the relationship between drilling process variable on thrust force and torque generated to th...
