Abstract
Drilling process is one of the most common machning process in industrial sector. More than half of the metal-cutting processes are conducted by the drilling process. Drill bit has influenced the results of the drilling process. Therefore, selection of the suitable drill bit becomes a critical factor in the drilling process. This is because the use of the suitable drill bit could fulfill the determined specification value of the hole. Six Sigma and Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) methods are used to identify factors that have influenced the results of the drilling process. Then by using the Design of Experiment, selection of the best drill bit could be done. In this study, 2 factors that influenced the result are the drill bit type and the drill point angle. Significance test using nested design through MINITAB 14 application has shown that both factors have significant influence over the hole diameter size.. Then by using the plot from the MINITAB 14 application, HPMT 1 became the best drill bit because it could fulfill the specification value. As for the best point angle in this study is 139.72º. Process capability calculation of HPMT 1 has shown that the process is in control. The conclusion is that drill bit HPMT 1 with point angle 139.72º became the best option in this study.
Highlights
In machining process, cutting tools has important roles on finished products
Parameter of machining affect the process, Lin (2002) found that bigger feed value on vary speed will result bigger surface hardness. The purpose of this experiment is to found out which drill bit is the best. Another purpose is to determine whether the drill bit type and point angle used in the experiment affect the hole diameter or not
First hypothesis state that drill bit type didn’t affect the diameter’s value, this hypothesis can be rejected because the p-value is smaller than the significance level, with the p-value at 0.025, smaller than the significance level used (α=0.05)
Summary
In machining process, cutting tools has important roles on finished products. As a quality control and assurance in general, those tools will be subjected to several tests for making sure that they met the manufacturer’s specifications These test serve as a mean to determine the quality, and the performance of the cutting tools. Parameter of machining affect the process, Lin (2002) found that bigger feed value on vary speed will result bigger surface hardness. The purpose of this experiment is to found out which drill bit is the best. Another purpose is to determine whether the drill bit type and point angle used in the experiment affect the hole diameter or not
