Tool Life
Tool Life is the period of time for which the cutting edge, affected by the cutting procedure, retains its cutting capacity between sharpening operations.
Symbol: T
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reference Tool Life
Reference tool life refers to an estimated or theoretical lifespan of a cutting tool under ideal operating conditions.
Symbol: L
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Production Cost of Each Component
Production cost of each component refers to the total expenses incurred in manufacturing a single component, taking into account all direct and indirect costs associated with the machining process.
Symbol: Cp
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Machining and Operating Rate
Machining and Operating Rate is the money charged for processing on and operating machines per unit time, including overheads.
Symbol: R
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Setup Time
Setup Time of each component is the time required to load/unload the workpiece and position the tool for production for one component.
Symbol: ts
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reference Cutting Velocity
Reference cutting velocity refers to the ideal or theoretical speed at which the cutting tool moves relative to the workpiece material during the machining process.
Symbol: V
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Taylor's Tool Life Exponent
Taylor's Tool Life Exponent is an experimental exponent that helps in quantifying the rate of Tool Wear.
Symbol: n
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be less than 1.
Constant For Machining Condition
Constant For Machining Condition can be regarded as the distance moved by the tool corner relative to the workpiece during a particular machining condition. It is usually measured in "Meter".
Symbol: K
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
