Optimization of laser cutting condition and extracting expert's skill using Taguchi method

Abstract

In laser cutting, cutting condition tuning is performed by operator to fit the cutting order. However, this tuning depends on operator's skill and the operator cannot perform tuning if he doesn't know which parameter is significant for this cutting. In this study, the authors try to extract operator's skill about cutting condition tuning using Taguchi method, and verify this method can use as skill analyzing tool or not.
