Toolpath optimisation uses physical Force

摘要

CGTech has announced the UK launch of its latest 'physics-based' toolpath optimisation module, Vericut Force. The Force module is a physics-based optimisation method that determines the maximum reliable feed rate for a given cutting condition based on four factors: force on the cutter, spindle power, maximum chip thickness, and maximum allowable feed rate. It calculates ideal feed rates by analysing tool geometry and parameters, material properties of the stock and cutting tool, detailed cutting-edge geometry, and cut-by-cut contact conditions.
