Determining Optimal Toolpath Strategy in the Manufacture of Insole Shoe Orthotic Made from Eva Foam Rubber for Diabetes Patients
Surface Quality and machining process for insole shoe orthotic for diabetic patients (iso_diabetes) on CNC machines rely heavily on choosing strategy at toolpath CAM PowerMill2016. Taguchi experimental design can be applied appropriately to get optimal toolpath strategy so that the
influence of the variation of the parameters of machining process iso_diabetes against surface roughness can be obtained from workmanship and time significantly. Orthogonal array L182.34 applied in this paper to get a pair of products iso_diabetes on optimal toolpath
strategy in Roland model MDX CNC machine 40R. Two diabetic patients aged 50 and 72 years with the category of high risk class diabetes were chosen as the objects of research. Five factors i.e., machining toolpath strategy, spindle speed, depth of cut, step over and type of patient given in
this experiment to influence significantly to extend the surface roughness and machining time desired. Experimental results show that the four parameters may have a relationship against surface roughness approaching the value of 0.008 mm (8 μm) with the actual machining time ranges
between 2.0–3.0 hours per pair of iso_diabetes. Raster strategy 45° is optimal in patient 2 whereas optimal step and shallow in patient 1 can be applied properly to make iso_diabetes from EVA rubber.
