What you can do
Things you normally do not have to consider, may get important when tools are getting extremely large or slender.
If you recognize the important elements, you may be able to move the limits of application. These calculations have been made for you to extend your range of Silent Machining.
To the right you will find a list over different materials and their specific cutting force kc 0.4. These will be helpful when making a calculation, because this material dependent value affects the cutting force, which is one of the major aspects when evaluating a setup. Find the material you want to use and click on it to apply its kc 0.4 to the calculator in the different calculations.
These are the available calculations;
Deflection of Boring bars - All boring bars will be deflected to some degree when a cutting force is applied. It is also important to control that the boring bar doesn't get overloaded. The two calculations on deflection will give you deflection data for 570 SL and Large Bars, respectively.
Tool Post Balancing - The use of long boring bars sets higher demands on the rigidity of your tool post. Find out if your tool post can balance a long boring bar in a specified roughing cut, or if you have to apply extra weight.
Coromant Capto Capacity - Check the maximum applicable cutting force for long Capto-integrated boring bars.
Pull-in force for VDI - Check the minimum required pull-in force for long VDI-integrated boring bars with different cutting data.
Eccentric Boring - Standard boring bars may be used in boring/facing heads. But if the centrifugal forces become large enough, they will take the damper out of function. Calculate the maximum RPM for a given radius, or vice versa.
