Cost of a Tool
The Cost of a Tool refers to the expenses associated with acquiring and using cutting tools used in various machining operations.
Symbol: Ct
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Machining and Operating Rate
Machining and Operating Rate is the money charged for processing on and operating machines per unit time, including overheads.
Symbol: M
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reference Cutting Velocity
Reference Cutting Velocity refers to a standard cutting speed used as a baseline or reference point for selecting appropriate cutting speeds for specific machining operations.
Symbol: Vref
Measurement: SpeedUnit: mm/min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Outer Radius of Workpiece
Outer Radius of Workpiece is the distance from the center of rotation to the outermost surface of the workpiece being machined.
Symbol: Ro
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Rotational Frequency of Spindle
Rotational Frequency of Spindle is the speed at which the spindle of a machine tool rotates during machining operations. It is typically measured in revolutions per minute.
Symbol: ωs
Measurement: FrequencyUnit: rev/min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Taylor's Tool Life Exponent
Taylor's Tool Life Exponent is a parameter used in tool life equations to describe the relationship between cutting speed and tool life in metal machining.
Symbol: n
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
Workpiece Radius Ratio
Workpiece Radius Ratio refers to the ratio between the initial radius and the final radius of the workpiece being machined.
Symbol: Rw
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
Maximum Tool Life
Maximum Tool Life is the point at which a cutting tool reaches its limit in terms of usage before it becomes too worn, damaged, or otherwise unable to effectively perform its intended function.
Symbol: Tmax
Measurement: TimeUnit: min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Time to Change One Tool
Time to Change One Tool refers to the duration required to replace a cutting tool with another tool during a machining operation.
Symbol: tc
Measurement: TimeUnit: min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
