How to calculate the Optimal Load for Adaptive Clearing

[Aadithya01]

Hey Guys,

I was at the OTX Thailand last month and during one of the technical sessions I came to know the power of Adaptive Clearing in Fusion 360 . Here in my region there are lots of pattern makers whose components sizes are considerably big and there will be lots of hours spent by them to just do the roughing operation . Usually they use pocket clearing for roughing operations. But I am sure with Adaptive clearing they will be able to save lots of time. 

So from my end I would like to do some homework in the implementation of Adaptive Clearing at their end . And my question is how do you determine the Optimal Load and Maximum Roughing stepdown for workpieces like Aluminium , Hardened steel (HRC upto 47) and for various other materials .

Can anyone share your experience ? and is there any material where I can refer to in implementing adaptive clearing.

All depends on machine, material and used tool.

Take for example Fraisa NB-NVDS P8200.391 (8mm mill meanth for adaptive) defines 2 feeds and speeds. One for High power/stable machines(3 axis): Ap=19mm Ae=2mm(25%) 6800RPM, 2700 mm/min. One for Low Power machines with wide spindlespeed range(5 axis). Ap=19mm Ae=0,8mm(10%) 9000rpm, 6800 mm/min.

I'm working with some toolsupplier so I hear their stories. The full-time machinists can probably give you more insights. I personally like working with high feeds and speeds with smaller Ae because of the chips that get thrown away and don't stay in the pocket.

I HIGHLY recommend HSMAdvisor: http://hsmadvisor.com/

You can set up machine parameters to help calculate nominal feeds and speeds for the application, the database has tons of materials and tool settings can be adjusted quite a bit to obtain desired results.

There are no dumb questions in the world, but not all questions can be asked by all people.

Pretty sure you understand what I mean here.

[zero_divide]

but i do not know what you mean 😞

Hey @zero_divide

Can you tell me what you didn't understand

[ArjanDijk]

@Laurens-3DTechDraw: I also have a vague idea what you mean, but maybe you can explain it, so I can check my assumption.

@aadithyasathya94 @Aadithya01: Is this the same person?

[Laurens-3DTechDraw]

As you may have assumed I was talking about how internally things are handled, specifically regarding training, sales, knowledge transfer, and re-sellers.

[Aadithya01]

Hey @ArjanDijk - Yup same person 

[ArjanDijk]

@Aadithya01 Ok, then kill one of the accounts for clearity reason

[Aadithya01]

@ArjanDijk Ha ha - will do
