What is the formula for process time and what components does it consist of?
Process Time = setup time + cycle time. The setup time includes the time to setup the milling machine, plan the tool movements, and install the fixture device into the milling machine. The cycle time includes load/unload time and cut time.
What factors can affect the load time in milling machine operations?
What factors can affect the load time in milling machine operations?
The load time can depend on the size, weight, and complexity of the work piece, as well as the type of fixture used.
How is the cut time for a specific operation calculated?
How is the cut time for a specific operation calculated?
The cut time for any given operation is calculated by dividing the total cut length for that operation by the feed rate, which is the speed of the cutter relative to the work.
