Optimization of cutting parameters during drilling of glass with using statistical methods

Due to its many features, glass has been used in many areas such as the white goods sector, furniture, construction, automotive, communications industries, and so the glass drilling process has a great importance and demand in recent years. Glass drilling has an important place in terms of process. In this study, cutting parameters were analyzed for glass drilling and optimum values were found. It is important to select the cutting speed and feed rate to increase the hole quality. Experiments were carried out at different speeds (rev/min) and feed rates (mm/sec). Optimum cutting conditions during drilling flat glass in order to decrease axial misalignment value has been investigated. In the analysis of the data, variance analysis (ANOVA) and Monte Carlo simulation method were used. The optimum axial misalignment values for Ø18,3 mm and Ø37,4 mm drill diameters were found to be 0,11823 mm and 0,064095 mm, respectively.
