Fast CNC
What is the big key to the speed of this machine?
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...53814431369082 Looks like they are cutting about 1/4 plate at a really aggressive rate. Obviously ramping and spray lubricant help, but that is not all it takes to cut that aggressively or is this also a super high speed spindle? My experience so far has been that if I try to take off more than about .003 by .250 per pass I can run about 20 IPM with aluminum with lubricant. This looks like they are taking about .250 by .1875 in a single pass after ramping in at something like 60 IPM. Excuse my numbers if they are off since I can only judge this process by what is shown on the video and guess at the dimensions. |
