THE TURNING FORCE ANALYSIS USING THE „MINITAB” SOFTWARE

Abstract

This paper presents a new way to analyze the experimental results of the cutting force of the cylindrical turning process. Making use of the modern technology and the Minitab software, this paper shows the way to analyze the influence of the parameters (the thickness and the feed rate) on the cutting force and to conduct the ANOVA analysis for this particular manufacturing process. The determination of the capability of this technological process is the last step of this analysis. This work leads the way of the modern analysis of other manufacturing processes and experimental results.
