Milling Cut Calculator 2

MILLING CUT CALCULATOR 2 is a mobile application tool for milling machine operators, CNC operators, CNC programmers and others who work with milling machine processes. In a fast and easy way can most data for a milling be manipulated. In this extended version, there are also for example several language translations to choose from.


MAIN PROPERTIES

- Calculates the time for a milling cut by using given processing data

- Calculation of the input data also gives results for material removal rate, chip thicknesses, cutting data factors, torque and power

- Possible process-data that can be changed are tool diameter, number of teeth, cutting length, cutting speed, spindle speed, feed rate per tooth, feed rate per revolution, feed rate per minute, entering angle, diameter of round inserts, cutting depth, cutting width, air-cut width, rake angle, material, the specific cutting force (kc) and efficiency

- Handles both of the systems Metric and Imperial

- Possible to convert between these two systems

- Converts between cutting speed and spindle speed

- Converts between feed rate per tooth, feed rate per revolution and feed rate per minute

- Possible to switch between cutting inserts with straight edges and round edges.

- Calculates material removal rate from given data

- Calculates chip thicknesses and then possible optimization factors

- Calculates a reasonably correct specific cutting force from selected material, tool rake angle, and average chip thickness

- Calculates average torque and average power from given data

- All selectable values can be changed with the input of absolute value or with buttons for incremental change

- Required updates of affected values occur immediately

- Switching between change methods is made by a long tap on the value's row

- Possibility to get an explanation about a value with a fast double tap on the value's row

- Possibility to get explanations of other result values with a quick double-tap in the specific area shown

- Possible to choose 1 of 14 different languages at any time

- Ability to select time for viewing highlighted text and active buttons

- Ability to select color theme

- Ability to adjust color tones for the color themes

- Possibility to change the appearance of highlighted sub-values

- Possible to create new default values

- Possibility to select main font

- All settings are stored for the next use of the app

- Possible to continue with the last session when starting the app


HANDLING IN BRIEF

When starting the app, all properties have values. These values can be selected as fixed basic values or saved values from the previous session. To change a value, first tap on the property's field to enable the property. The field lights up in a preset light color when it get activated. At the bottom of the screen, a keypad for value input lights up. The keypad can be selected to be for absolute input of values ​​or for incremental values and is adapted to current value. The switching between the keypads is done with a long click on the value field.

On page 2, there is also a result field that only displays calculated results.

With a quick double click on a value field, can a brief description and a descriptive image be obtained. The same thing happens when you double tap the result field on page 2.
