Investigation of effect of cutting parameters on geometric runout controls – A review

Turning is a widespread machining operation in which a single-point cutting tool removes material from the surface of a rotating cylindrical workpiece. Variables involved in the machining process are the primary factors that directly affect the quality of a product. Major channels of machined components are produced by CNC machine. CNC machine has got specific capability to produce components meeting both the dimensional and geometric requirements with low processing time. These requirements are to be met with in order to meet the functional requirements by each component as a part of an assembly. The geometrical requirements to be met by the components apart from dimensional requirements are: Circularity, Cylindricity, Straightness, Circular Runout, Total Runout etc. The controls considered in this review paper are: Circular Runout, Total Runout. The effect of various cutting parameters on these geometrical parameters are of great significance for effective part functioning. Literature Surveys indicates that there is large scope for investigation, which may be useful and produce parts meeting both geometrical and dimensional requirements.
