solutions that prevent chatter vibrations. These technologies help
manufacturers
reach the best part, faster, first time by applying optimal feed
rates and spindle speeds.

Feed Rate Optimizer
This web app offers instant optimized feed rates applied to straight milling operations with a flat end cutter. It can be used for process planning of untested milling operations to diagnose production issues by prediction of cutting forces the cutting tool experiences in the process. Its output can also be used while designing fixtures for the milling process.
Spindle Speed
Optimizer
The Spindle Speed Optimizer app helps
engineers to select the right set of
parameters for profiling providing
spindle
speed and depth of cut combinations
to
achieve stable milling processes.
Why use tap testing in combination with Productive Machines web apps?
To predict and identify the stability of machining operations against chatter vibration before cutting any metal
To assess the process transferability between the machine tools in the shop floor
To support the machine tool acceptance tests
Identify safe spindle speeds for machining by combining an
understanding of the behaviour of the installed cutting tool and
tap testing.
