CAM Program Incorporates
Extensive Machining Database

 

TechSolve's CUTDATA, a machining database, has been incorporated into the new KnowledgeBase™ featured in the CAM software application ESPRIT 2003 from DP Technology. The ESPRIT KnowledgeBase utilizes workpiece materials, machining operations, cutting depths, and cutter materials to select the best known spindle speed and feed rate for a given cutting situation.

CUTDATA offers more than 100,000 recommended cutting speeds and feed rates for 22 machining operations, 12 different cutter materials, and over 3,700 different workpiece materials. Shops can also extend this list to include their favorite cutter and workpiece materials.

The KnowledgeBase determines the optimum spindle speed and cutting feed rate, guiding users through the process by means of dialogue boxes that let them select the material class and condition, the type of cut, and tool material from drop-down menus. If the desired cutter and part material is not included in ESPRIT's extensive database, users can enter customized settings.
