Reference Tool Life
Reference Tool Life is the tool life of the tool obtained in the reference machining condition.
Symbol: Lref
Measurement: TimeUnit: min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Constant For Machining Condition
Constant For Machining Condition can be regarded as the distance moved by the tool corner relative to the workpiece during a particular machining condition. It is usually measured in Metre.
Symbol: K
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reference Cutting Velocity
Reference Cutting Velocity is the cutting velocity of the tool used in the reference machining condition.
Symbol: Vref
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Taylors Tool Life Exponent
Taylors Tool Life Exponent is an experimental exponent that helps in quantifying the rate of tool wear.
Symbol: n
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
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.
Time to Change One Tool
Time to Change One Tool is the measure of time it takes to change one tool during machining.
Symbol: tc
Measurement: TimeUnit: min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Cost of A Tool
The Cost of A Tool is simply the cost of one tool being used for machining.
Symbol: Ct
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Cutting Velocity
The Cutting Velocity is the tangential velocity at the periphery of the cutter or workpiece (whichever is rotating).
Symbol: V
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Production Cost of Each Component
Production Cost of Each Component is the total amount that it takes to produce a single component from scratch.
Symbol: Cp
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Non-Productive Time
Non-Productive Time is the total time wasted in setting up the machine or workpiece for a particular process.
Symbol: NPT
Measurement: TimeUnit: min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
