PT Journal AU Reznicek, M Horava, C TI The Influence of the Choice of Machining Strategy on Production Technology SO Manufacturing Technology Journal PY 2024 BP 117 EP 130 VL 24 IS 1 DI 10.21062/mft.2024.014 DE CAM system; Strategies; Cutting time; High-Speed Cutting AB This paper deals with the issue of selecting different machining parameters in the CAM system Siemens NX 1946. The issue of choosing between a solid end mill, milling cutter, and a high-feed tool when machining simple rectangular and rugged cavities concerning time and residual material is solved here. The chosen material was 1.1730, which is a basic material for the production of moulds without heat treatment. The paper deals with the issue of choosing the size of tool feed into the cut and its influence on the formation of the machining path depending on the depth of the cavity. The size of the residual material depends on the machining strategy and the choice of the plunge method into the material with regard to the total machining time. Performed simulations and experiments have shown a significant impact in individual settings and, thus, on the cost of machining components of such shapes. ER
