A metal plate of 400 mm in length, 200mm in width and 30 mm in depth is to be machined by orthogonal cutting using a tool of width 5mm and a depth of cut of 0.5 mm. Estimate the minimum time required to reduce the depth of the plate by 20 mm

Complete Question:

A metal plate of 400 mm in length, 200mm in width and 30 mm in depth is to be machined by orthogonal cutting using a tool of width 5mm and a depth of cut of 0.5 mm. Estimate the minimum time required to reduce the depth of the plate by 20 mm if the tool moves at 400 mm per second.

26 mins 40 secs

Explanation:

Reduction in depth, Δd = 20 mm

Depth of cut,

Number of passes necessary for this reduction,

n = 20/0.5

n = 40 passes

Tool width, w = 5 mm

Width of metal plate, W = 200 mm

For a reduction in the depth per pass, tool will travel W/w = 200/5 = 40 times

Speed of tool, v = 100 mm/s

minimum time required to reduce the depth of the plate by 20 mm:

number of passes * Time/pass

n * Time/pass

40 * 40

 1600 = 26 mins 40 secs
