Abstract

In this paper, a new electrical discharge machining (EDM) is proposed. This EDM is existed as the resultant of the optimized analysis of the structure of Taguchi’s technique. The optimized analysis lies with the advanced statistical tool referred as analysis of variance (ANOVA). ANOVA-based dynamic analysis over optimization of the structure of the Taguchi’s mechanism sets as the curve. This curve is semicircular. Thus, an optimized semicircular curved EDM process came in the existence. This is an efficient process proved by ANOVA. Its application also presented in this paper as curvature channel. This is an optimized curvature channel based on semicircular EDM process. The optimality lies with the decision variables as optimal parameters obtained by ANOVA over Taguchi’s method. The comparative analysis of the conventional curvature channel existed curvature channel mechanism and the proposed process also presented in this paper. The resultant is set as an advanced curvature channel with unique characteristics. Improved efficiency by optimized structure, minimized error by ANOVA and dynamic performance by optimized programming are some key characteristics of the proposed process. There are certain new and optimal parameters are applied to develop this mechanism. The time, speed, structure, dimension, linear and nonlinear constraints are the such key optimal parameters. The proposed curved EDM process interacts with the motion of electrodes. The oscillating motion is applied to develop this process instead the horizontal and vertical motion. Basically, the proposed process is based on the nonlinear motion of electrodes instead of linear motion.
