Cutting Data Field Analysis and Predictions — Part 1: Straight Taylor Slopes

Summary This paper deals with mathematical models for tool life relationships needed for Adaptive Control Optimization. Based on extended Taylor relationships, analysis of available industrial cutting data fields have been performed using a software package giving the mathematical variables needed for the accurate mathematical description of the entire cutting data field. The program is described and the possibilities to give reliable extended outing data predictions is showed. Furthermore, the meaning of some of the obtained constants are discussed as is the use of these predictions in an ACO turning system and the future developments of the model.
