The transformation of the coal-fired furnace of the plastic granulator system has become an important issue to be solved urgently. In the actual cutting process, the best cutting tools and cutting parameters can be selected on the basis of software analysis without copying the recommended cutting conditions provided by the tool factory. Through simulation analysis, improve the removal rate of materials, optimize the cutting force and temperature, chip formation, reduce the distortion and deformation of the workpiece in metal cutting, reduce the residual stress, improve the quality of parts and tool performance, and reduce the test times and costs of on-site trial cutting. Simulation technology helps enterprises improve product quality, extend tool life, improve processing technology, and significantly reduce product manufacturing costs

production moduletm software

principle and characteristics production moduletm software is a process analysis software. Through the comprehensive analysis of workpiece, tool, material data and NC program, the cutting force, temperature and other data in the whole machining process can be obtained. Then, the cutting force, temperature and other parameters in the machining process are optimized by optimizing the feed and cutting speed in the NC program. As shown in Figure 3

after the optimization analysis of production moduletm, the cutting force and temperature in the machining process can be improved, the load balance can be realized, the vibration can be reduced, and the machining cycle can be shortened. The optimized NC program can be processed directly

benefit analysis the databases in production moduletm software are obtained through experiments or advantedgetm analysis. Input the workpiece, workpiece material characteristics, tool parameters, G code/apt code, machine tool control file, and analyze the titanium dioxide process capacity of these parameters, so as to obtain the cutting force, temperature, power and other results in the whole processing process. Then, by automatically optimizing the CNC process 1, ensure the sequence function of the key curve tester on a stable and fixed workbench or horizontal plane, or optimize the parameters of feed and cutting speed, and optimize the cutting force, temperature and processing cycle, so as to improve the production efficiency. The comparison of cutting force and machining cycle before and after NC program optimization is shown in Figure 4
