In this paper, optimal DRIE process conditions for fused quartz are experimentally determined by Taguchi method to develop high-performance inertial sensors based on the fused quartz material, which is known to have high Q-factors. Using Si layer as an etch mask, which was formed by previously developed bonding process of the fused quartz and Si wafer, fused quartz DRIE process was performed. Different 9 flow rate conditions of $C_4F_8$, $O_2$, He gas have been tested and the optimum combination of these factors was estimated. By this work, the ability to fabricate high aspect ratio fused quartz structure was confirmed.

Taguchi method is a technique widely used in industries to attain a reliable quality even under existence of various noise variables. Basically, it relies on the interactions between the controllable and the noise factors. Under insignificant interactions between the design parameters and noises, the effectiveness of Taguchi methodology will be doubtful. Furthermore, existence of strong interactions among controllable factors may undermine the power of Taguchi approach. An abundant crop may be expected by a well planned Taguchi approach. A well designed set of experiments is one of the important prerequisites for its successful result. For this, we must have a clear understanding on strengths and weaknesses of Taguchi methodology together with a sound knowledge on the applicable system. This study provides some insights on Taguchi approach based on two case examples of one successful and the other unsuccessful. Eventually, this research aims to facilitate deeper understanding and right application of Taguchi methodology in industries.

During the past several decades, the Taguchi robust design method has been widely used in various fields successfully. On the other hand, some researchers and practitioners have criticized the method with respect to the way of utilizing orthogonal arrays, the signal-to-noise ratio as a performance measure, data analysis methods, etc., and proposed alternative approaches to robust design. This paper introduces the Taguchi method first, evaluates the validity of the criticisms, and discusses advantages and disadvantages of each alternative. Finally, research issues to be addressed for effective robust design are presented.

기어는 중요한 핵심 기계요소 중 하나로서 기계적 물성이 강화된 엔지니어링 플라스틱의 개발과 제품의 성능 향상 및 소형화, 경량화, 저소음화 등의 소비자 요구를 만족시키기 위한 노력에 편승하여 정밀도가 높은 플라스틱 기어에 대한 생산 요구가 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 시력 측정 장치인 자동굴절검사기용 디스크 기어에 대하여 변형을 최소화하기 위한 성형조건 최적화를 수행하였다. 사출 공정의 주요 공정변수를 사출온도, 충진시간과 보압압력, 금형온도로 정하고 다구치 방법에 의해 성형 해석으로 예측된 변형량을 분석한 결과 사출온도와 보압압력이 원판형 기어의 Z방향 변형에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Nowadays, hollow upper-shaft of monobloc type has been considered for weight reduction and high quality in the automobile industry. To form the upper-shaft under tube cold extrusion, Taguchi method is applied to optimize the die design in this study. Taguchi method for optimum die design is to establish the optimal combination of design parameters and to reduce a number of experiments. Effect of parameters including the die relief, mandrel, die half angle is investigated and analyzed based on FEA analysis using a FEM commercial software MSC_Marc. Furthermore extrusion experiments have been performed to verify the results investigated in the FEM simulations.

An automobile ball joint is the element for connecting the control arm and the knuckle arm, allowing rotational motion. The ball joint consists of the stud, plug, socket, and seat. These components are assembled through the caulking process that consists of plugging and spinning. In the existing research, the pull-out strength and gap stiffness were calculated, but we did not consider the uncertainties due to the numerical analysis and production. In this study, the uncertainties of material property and tolerance are considered to predict the distributions of pull-out strength and gap stiffness. Also, pull-out strength and gap stiffness are predicted as the a distribution rather than one deterministic value. Furthermore, a robust design applying the Taguchi method is suggested.

Ceramics are very difficult-to-cut materials because of its high strength and hardness. Their machining process can be characterized by cracking and brittle fracture. Generally, ceramics are machined using traditional method such as grinding and polishing. However, such processes are generally costly and have low material removal rate. In this paper, to develop machinable ceramics those have good machinability without losing their material properties, machinability evaluations are performed by applying the experimental design method. In this paper, to evaluate the machinability of the developed ceramics, various workpieces are machined on the CNC machining center, and surface roughness are measured under predefined process parameters obtained using Taguchi method. And the experimental results are investigated to derive optimum cutting parameters for the given materials.

An automatic transfer line consists of several stages(groups of stations) in series into one system by a common transfer mechanism and a common control system. In this system losses of the efficiency are evidenced in periods where a stage is forcod down- starved or blocked. The efficiency of an automatic transfer line can be improved by providing buffer storages between a stage or the length of line common senses there are several critical factors, system configurations relative position, and buffer capacity allocations in automatic transfer line are considered with a point of view production rates, average stock, and mean delay. The propose of this paper is to provide the robust designs by Taguchi method which improve the efficiency of four-stage transfer line.

Machine operator and quality are affected by chip during cutting process to product machine parts. This paper presents a study of the influence of cutting conditions on the surface roughness obtained by turning using Taguchi method for safety of turning operator. In the machining of titanium alloy, high cutting temperature and strong chemical affinity between the tool and the work material are generated because of its low thermal conductivity and chemical reactivity. Therefore titanium alloys are known as difficult-to materials. An orthogonal array, the signal-to-noise ratio, the analysis of variance are employed to investigate the cutting characteristics of implant material bars using tungsten carbide cutting tools of throwaway type. Also Experimental results by orthogonal array are compared with optimal condition to evaluate advanced reliability. Required simulations and experiments are performed, and the results are investigated.

The inherent reliability of a product is primarily determined in the design stage, and therefore, design engineers should be able to design reliability into the product in an efficient manner. Especially, the product should be designed such that its reliability is robust to various noise factors encountered in production and field environments. The Taguchi method can be effectively used for this purpose. However, there exist only a few attempts to integrate the Taguchi method with reliability design, and in addition, the existing works do not sufficiently consider the robustness and/or the distinction between noise and acceleration factors. This paper develops a unified approach to robust reliability design assuming that accelerated life tests are conducted at each combination of design and noise conditions. First, an experimental structure for assigning not only acceleration but also noise factors is presented. Second, the reliability at the use condition is estimated using the assumed accelerated life test model. Third, reliabilities are transformed into 'efforts' using an effort function which reflects the degree of difficulty involved in improving the reliability. Finally, an optimal setting of design parameters is determined based on the mean and standard deviation of the effort values. The above approach is illustrated with an example of a paper feeder design.
