Formula

核心计算关系:Fc = 60000·P/v

输入变量:

  • Power P P — kW
  • Cutting speed v v — m/min

输出结果:

  • Cutting force Fc Fc — N

假设/适用:Cutting params (v, f, a_p) must stay within tool/workpiece recommended windows.

Worked Example

根据公式 Fc = 60000·P/v,取 Power P = 5 kW;Cutting speed v = 100 m/min。

代入计算得:Cutting force Fc = 3,000 N。

Key Points

  • Cutting params (v, f, a_p) must stay within tool/workpiece recommended windows.
  • MRR scales with feed speed, depth and width; sets required spindle power.
  • Feed f = f_z·z·n; match per-tooth feed with spindle speed.
