Basic Example

TXF - Cutting Performance Analysis Software

The combination of individual machining components used to machine the work-piece forms a "Machining System". Each "Machining System" has its unique "Frequency Response" that describes how it will vibrate while machining. For example, this is why the same cutter in a different machine-tool does not perform the same.

Process Parameter Constraint Maps based on stability analysis allow users to immediately evaluate various machining systems performance and choose for each "Machining System" the best possible cutting speed and cutting conditions without long trial and error testing iterations.

TXF Tool Dashboards

  • Tool Dashboard allows to analyze the performance of the tool assembly in a very simple way through an interactive and easy-to-use graphical interface
  • Tool Dashboard allows to quickly visualize the stable speed of the system, the maximum depths of cut and feed according to the needs and objectives
  • Additional information about dimensional accuracy (SLE) and surface finish (CDD) can be evaluated
  • Results are automatically recalculated by moving the cursors to find the optimal machining conditions before ever taking a cut
  • Dashboard files can be stored and organized in a database for production planners and programmers
  • Tool Dashboard is an extremely fast, simple and effective way for analyzing tool performance, and does not require any specific knowledge of vibration analysis: ask us to send you an example for free!
TXF - Cutting Performance Analysis Software

Main New Features

Immediately after measurement, the results for each tool assembly are automatically presented in one exclusive interactive "Tool Dashboard" (DCC - Dynamic Cutting Calculator)

The Tool Dashboard can be exported in a file that can be used to try an unlimited number of feed and depth of cut scenarios to find the optimum machining conditions before ever taking a cut
