Applications/Examples of results
◇ Cutting resistance values of various materials Select materials from a database of approximately 140 types, ranging from carbon steel, cast steel, stainless steel, and aluminum to difficult-to-cut materials like nickel and titanium, and perform analysis. In addition to the main cutting force, radial cutting force, and axial cutting force, cutting resistance values in the X, Y, and Z axes are calculated. ◇ Machine power and torque By accurately calculating cutting resistance values, it is possible to evaluate the machine power and tool torque required for processing. ◇ Force per unit length Evaluate force per unit length as a parameter for assessing tool wear. ◇ Consideration of tool deflection It is possible to consider tool deflection based on radial cutting force. The variation in tool deflection due to the tool protrusion from the holder and the tool material can be evaluated. ◇ Smoothing of cutting load and reduction of processing time Output NC tool path code that adjusts feed rate to match the cutting load value input by the user (smoothing of cutting load), thereby enabling a reduction in processing time.
