The Use of Grey-based Taguchi Methods to Determine Process Parameter of Linear Motion Guide with Multiple Performance Characteristics

By the grey-based Taguchi methods, this study attempts to analyze the process parameters pertinent to the multiple performance characteristics of linear motion guides and obtain the multiple performance characteristics of the noise level, push force value and horizontal combination precision of the linear motion guide with multiple qualities. Optimal process parameters are determined by using the parameter design proposed by the Taguchi method. Experimental results have shown that optimal linear motion guide process parameters can be determined effectively so as to improve multiple qualities through this new approach.
