Abstract
A method of controlling a cutting machine to cut workpieces according to the machinability of the workpieces includes the steps of providing a plurality of predetermined constant voltage outputs, each constant voltage output corresponding to a predetermined cutting speed for the cutting machine, selecting one of a plurality of constant voltage outputs in response to a desired workpiece material to be cut by the machine, and driving the cutting tool at a predetermined cutting speed corresponding to the desired material to be cut in response to the selected constant voltage output.
Claims4
A method of controlling a cutting machine having a cutting tool for cutting workpieces having different machinability characteristics comprising:
- providing a plurality of predetermined constant voltage outputs, each constant voltage output corresponding to a predetermined cutting speed for the cutting tool, each constant voltage output also corresponding to a particular range of machinability characteristics;
- selecting one of said plurality of constant voltage outputs based on the machinability characteristics of the workpiece to be cut by said machine;
- driving the cutting tool at the predetermined cutting speed corresponding to the selected constant voltage output,
- whereby the workpiece is cut at the optimum speed dependent upon its machinability characteristics.
