why greek "pi" exists in cutting speed calculation?
Dear Sirs:
We have installed a Gear Shaping machine (model: similar to Lorenz LS400). We would like to operate at 20 mpm cutting speed while cutting internal splines. The intruction manual says: cutting speed = pi * stroke length * strokes per minute / (1000) (note, here stroke length = spline length + approach + over travel) I do not understand why greek pi (value = 3.1428) presents in this formula when the cutter does not follow a circular motion. Here the cutter follows a reciprocatory movement and shifted for relief by about 0.5mm away from cutting surface. To my understand, I think the formula must have been cutting speed = 2 * stroke length * strokes per minute / (1000) Can anyone explain why "pi" is considered in the formula. Awaiting your help with best regards N. Ayyavu |

The speed of the stroke varies according to where you are in any given
revolution. At the ends of the stroke the speed is zero (it's reversing). Maximum speed occurs in the center of the forward and reverse stroke (at 90 and 270). At those points the speed of the stroke is equal to the rotational speed of a circle who's speed is 22/7 ths (pi) times the length diameter of the stroke times the number of revolutions every minute.

The formula you suggest would be correct for a cutter whose velocity was constant during the stroke and with an instantaneous reversal at each end. -- Bob Nichols AT interaccess.com I am "rnichols" |

I do not understand why greek pi (value = 3.1428) presents in this
formula when the cutter does not follow a circular motion. Logic tells me that your machine is converting circular motion to linear motion and thus "pi" comes into play. I don't want to devote too much time thinking about this because it is Thanksgiving day and the only PIE I am thinking about right now is that wonderful pumpkin pie that I smell from upstairs. Happy Thanksgiving all, DL |

The formula you suggest would be correct for a cutter whose velocity was constant during the stroke and with an instantaneous reversal at each end. Or if you'd prefer calculus: If the cutter moves 's' strokes per minute in a simple sinusoidal motion, then the cutter motion can be described as: x = x0 + 0.5 * stroke * sin(2 * pi * s * t) where t is in minutes (sin goes +/-1 so, hence the 0.5 factor) The speed is: dx/dt = 0.5 * stroke * 2 * pi * s) * cos (2 * pi * 1/2 * t). (since we know d/dx sin(a*x) = a * cos(ax) ) The maximum speed is when cos(...) = 1, or stroke * pi * s. I think shapers are made asymmetrical so they move faster on the back stroke.

why greek "pi" exists in cutting speed calculation?
The other day my wife asked what kind of pie I would like for TurkeyDay. I replied pumpkin or apple would be fine. After dinner today the choices were chocolate or pineapple cream. I asked what had happened to apple and pumpkin. There was a reason but it is too complicated to recount here.

Thanksgiving (and Christmas) aren't complete until the personie ration reaches 2:1 (twelve people). An you _gotta_ have pumpkin and apple (don't even need anything else). Regards, Robin |

Dear Sirs
First of all, I am stunned at the response. Now I understand the formula well. I thank Mr. Edd Slater for being an opening bats man. I liked his simplistic explanation. I thank Mr. Robert Nichols for the comments on formula of my understanding. I thank Mr. Spehro Pefhany for a in-depth explanation with calculus. My hearthy thanks. I enjoyed out -of-square answers of M/s Doug Goncz, Gunluvver2, Errol Groff, Robin S, .Michael My special thanks for Google. Bye N. Ayyavu ()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()() |
