This new “chatter stop” function was sensational, but in actual machine shops chatter does not occur that often. Machine shops with superior know-how were already taking solid measures to counter chatter, but stopping chatter and raising productivity were not directly linked. It then struck us that having the machine not just control chatter but also quickly identify the optimum cutting conditions (cutting speed [sfm]) would lead directly to improved productivity. <BR>Machining Navi is not just a chatter stopper; it’s an easy-to-use and convenient function that supports operators by finding the cutting conditions (cutting speed) that will give the highest productivity.</P> <P>The optimum cutting conditions search function of Machining Navi automatically adjusts the tool rotation speed (Machining Navi M-i), and advises the operator on the optimum spindle speed for cutting (Machining Navi M-g). Say goodbye to the long hours and costs of conventional methods to find the cutting conditions (cutting speed) that are near the best. Machining Navi frees you from the long process of trial and error, by having the machine find the optimum cutting conditions for you.</P> <P>With Machining Navi M-i, the machine uses sensors to detect conditions, analyze, and calculate, and immediately and automatically changes to a stable spindle speed for optimum machining. Since these are just slight changes to cutting speed only, there is no significant effect on surface smoothness. Achieve simple operation just by switching on the Machining Navi mode.</P> <P>When starting up Machining Navi M-g and doing actual machining, OSP (CNC) senses, analyzes, and calculates the machining and displays the analysis results on the monitor. You can look at this display and make suggested changes in the program.</P> <P>The benefits of Machining Navi function are:</P> <P>1. Raise productivity<BR>Good cutting can be done even with the machine and the tool conditions (cutting speed) raised to near their performance limits.</P> <P>2. Extend tool life<BR>Conservative cutting conditions (cutting speed) can be set even with difficult to machine materials. There is no trial and error with expensive tools.</P> <P>3. Reduce defects<BR>No more failures in test machining. No waste of expensive materials.</P> <P>4. Try new materials and tooling<BR>Enjoy trying new materials and tooling that were difficult to work with in the past.</P> <P><BR>Machines with Machining Navi can work out at their max. so your productivity goes up!!</P> <P>Please note that there are some types of chatter that Machining Navi cannot suppress.</P> <P></P> <P> </P></TD> <TD vAlign=top> <P><IMG
