In any manufacturing industries the major problem is to reduce the machining time of each operation so as to keep the cost low and high profit rate without sacrificing quality of the component... This paper presents a study on the reduction of machining time, focusing on Pocketing machining to minimize the time.. In this paper, the simulation model has been developed which develops the required machining time for each operation by specifying the exact tool and machining parameters. The Simulation Model is made in MasterCAM Software. Cutting Parameters used for machining are spindle speed, feed, tool diameter, plunge-rate, and depth of cut. Different toolpath generation methods are studied to select the best one to find out optimized cycle time Experimentation reveals that zigzag toolpath is more favorable than any other strategies for the machining of Pocketing Operation for minimum cycle time.
