Milling - Estimation of Machining Time


New:  Industrial Engineering ONLINE Course

Industrial engineers have to calculate the taken by machine elements using formula applicable. Then they have to make adjustments to the machine elements so that variables can be changed to decrease machining cutting time.

Work measurement professionals have to focus on machine time estimation also. Also, they have to focus on developing productivity science based on measurements that they are taking.   My comment in work measurement Linkedin group.

______________

______________

N =  [1000×V]/[π ×D]
N = RPM
V = Cutting Speed
D = Dia of the cutter

Time for one cut Tm = [Total table travel]/[Table feed/min]
Where, Total table travel = Length of job + Added table travel
Table feed/min =   Feed/tooth × Number of teeth × rpm
The approach is the distance the cutter must be engaged before the full depth of cut is reached.

(a) When cutter diameter is less than the width of the work.
Approach = 0.5 d


Example
Find the time required to face a job 25 cm long and 10 cm wide with the help of milling cutter of 10 cm dia, having 8 teeth and revolving at 80 rpm. The feed per tooth should not exceed 0.125 mm. The width of cutter is sufficient to mill to whole of job at a time.

Solution
Length = Length + Approach + Over travel
= l + A + (1/2)*[D - SQRT(D square - b square)]
=  250 + 20 + (1/2)*[100 - SQRT(100 square - 100 square)]
 = 320
Tm = L/[f×N×T]
= 320/[0.125× 8× 80]
 =  3.56 min.
