Week 8. Computer-Controlled Machining

test my machine

preparation

I made a simple square toolpath using Cut2D(Victric) software to test my CNC machine. Test conditions are followings.

• Endmill Diameter: 50 mm
• Spindle Speed: 10,000 rpm
• Feedrate: 3,600 mm/min
• Mahine Vectors: On
• Direction: Climb
• Thickness of an EPS: ca. 30 mm
• Depth of groove: 10 mm

test

I tested two feedrate overide (FRO) percnetage, 50 and 100%. On each conditions, the groove width (52 mm) was bigger than the endmill diameter (50 mm). I didn't see the differene of sharpness of edges. I believe the machining result was independent of the FRO.

FRO: 50%

FRO: 100%
