Formula

核心计算关系:F = P·t·τ

输入变量:

  • Shear perimeter P P — mm
  • Thickness t t — mm
  • Shear strength τ tau — MPa

输出结果:

  • Punch force F F — kN

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

Worked Example

根据公式 F = P·t·τ,取 Shear perimeter P = 200 mm;Thickness t = 2 mm;Shear strength τ = 300 MPa。

代入计算得:Punch force F = 120 kN。

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.
