We have been touting for years that calculating the amount of time a tool is actually engaged in the cut is the best method to use when calculating machining cycletime. Cycletime based on things like “volume of material removed” are not as accurate as using length of cut … and we all know that if the cycletime isn’t accurate … if speeds and feeds are not based on what actually happens on YOUR shop floor … you might as well just guess the time. Your cycletime will not reflect the time that will be achieved on YOUR shop floor … so what’s the use?<\/p>\n

Our KipwareCYC\u00ae<\/a> has always been built on the length of cut feature … and the newly released version 11.1.0 of our Cut Length Calculator app for KipwareCYC\u00ae<\/a> makes it even easier for users to calculate length of cut. CLC is , of course, a standard app that is included free with KipwareCYC\u00ae<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a breakdown of the new calculators :<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

#1\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We have included new 3D calculators for milling which can calculate length of cut for complex 3D milling operations as shown above. Using just a few simple inputs … the powerful calculations in CLC will auto calculate the tools length of cut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

#2<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All pocketing menus now include the option to specify an island or number of islands that may be contained in the pocket. This feature is available is square \/ rectangular pockets as well as round pockets. After intense testing … a simple description of the outline of the pocket in round or rectangular format has proven sufficient enough to produce an accurate length of cut … without having to go overboard and describe an island shape greater than just contained in a square or rectangle or circle.<\/p>\n

Again … the point of cycletime estimating is to produce an accurate estimate … without spending too much time or going overboard in terms of complexity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

#3<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A new taper cutting feature has also been added on the turning side … to enable length of cut for tapers which the user may feel is not covered accurate enough using the various straight turning options in CLC. Again … simple inputs employ powerful behind-the-scenes calculations in CLC to produce the length of cut.<\/p>\n

These new menu options are now shipping standard with KipwareCYC\u00ae<\/a> as of this writing. Users who wish to UPGRADE to the latest version of KipwareCYC\u00ae<\/a> which includes the latest version of the Cut Length Calculator … click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
