Abstract: The present work Optimization of Machining parameters on Surface Roughness by Taguchi approach has been undertaken keeping into consideration the following problems:

1) In today’s fast growing manufacturing sector, applications of proper simulation, modeling and optimization strategies in CNC turning process is essential to improve the machining, and the overall productivity.
2) High cost of numerically controlled machine tools, compared to their conventional counterparts, has forced us to operate these machines as efficiently as possible in order to obtain the required payback.
3) Usually the previous turning experimental study based on spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut and these cutting parameters are use for optimization of operations. Due to the highly competitive global competition and precision product requirements these important machining parameters optimize for the best process optimization.
4) It is not possible to obtain mathematical model for Taguchi model, the investigation of mathematical model is thus very essential. Because mathematical model is powerful tool to predict response for any of input parameters values within the experimental domain, and optimal values can be any of parameters point i.e., parameters are continuous and can take any real value. So, the necessary data required for developing the mathematical model for Taguchi method only possible when Taguchi method is coupled with other optimization technique.

The problem was to find an optimum set of conditions that were to produce minimum surface roughness.

There are two purposes of this research. The first is to demonstrate a systematic approach of using Taguchi parameter design of process control of individual CNC turning machine. The second is to demonstrate the use of Taguchi parameter design in order to identify the optimum surface roughness and performance with a particular combination of cutting parameters in a CNC turning operation.
