MAIN PROPERTIES
- Calculates the time for a turning cut by using given turning data
- Calculation of input data also gives values for surface finish, material removal, cutting forces, torque and power
- Possible turning-data to change are diameter, cutting length, cutting speed, spindle speed, feed per revolution, feed per minute, nose radius, surface, turning type, cutting depth, entering angle, specific cutting force (kc) and efficiency
- Handles both of the systems Metric and Imperial
- Possible to convert between the two systems
- Converts between cutting speed and spindle speed
- Converts between feed per revolution and feed per minute
- Calculates an approx. Ra surface fineness from given nose radius and feed
- Calculates an approx. feed from given nose radius and surface quality
- Calculates material removal and removal rate from given data
- Calculates approx. cutting forces from given data
- Calculates approx. torque and power from given data
- All selectable values except one can be changed with absolute input or incremental buttons
- Updates all necessary values immediately
- Switching between change methods is made by a long tap on the row with the property to change
- Possibility to get a short explanation about a property with a fast double tap on the property's row
- Possibility to get explanations about other resulting values with a fast double tap on the specific area that showing those
- Ability to select time for viewing highlights and active buttons
- Ability to select color of highlights and active buttons
- The selected system of units, time for highlight and color of highlight will be stored to the next use of the app
- Possible to continue with the last session when starting the app
TWO PAGES FOR CUTTING DATA AND RESULTS
Page 1 manages itself and is not dependent on page 2. The page is used for input and calculation of cutting data, surface fineness and cutting time.
Page 2, on the other hand, is very dependent on page 1 and is used for further data entry to calculate material removal, cutting forces, torque and power.
Switching between the two pages is done by pressing the arrows in the upper corners.
VALUES TREATED ON PAGE 1
- Diameter* (affects spindle speed, feed/min, time, material removal (+rate), torque and power)
- Cutting length (affects time and material removal)
- Cutting speed (affects spindle speed, feed/min, time, material removal rate and power)
- Spindle speed (affects cutting speed, feed/min, time, material removal rate and power)
- Feed/rev. (affects feed/min, surface, time, material removal rate, cutting forces, torque and power)
- Feed/min. (affects feed/rev., surface, time, material removal rate, cutting forces, torque and power)
- Nose radius (affects surface and cutting forces)
- Surface (affects feed/rev, feed/min, time, material removal rate, cutting forces, torque and power)
- Time
*the finished diameter
INPUT VALUES ON PAGE 2
- Turning type* (affects material removal (+rate), torque and power)
- Cutting depth (affects material removal (+rate), cutting forces, torque and power)
- Entering angle (affects cutting forces)
- Specific cutting force (affects cutting forces, torque and power)
- Efficiency (affects power of the spindle motor)
*internal/external and feed direction (gives the direction of cutting depth)
RESULTING VALUES ON PAGE 2
- Material removal rate
- Material removal
- Cutting force - Fc (Ft)
- Cutting force - Ff (Fa)
- Cutting force - Fp (Fr)
- Torque - spindle
- Power - spindle
- Power - motor
SELECTED VALUES
Selecting a property whose value is to be changed is through a tap on the property's row. This marks this line with a light color and the lines on page 1 that are affected by the change are highlighted with a darker one. Page 2 shows the values of the affected properties in a result box.
