A cloud-based app designed to enhance machining strategies by offering cutting force predictions and feed rate optimisation for the CNC machine tool market is nowavailable from Productive Machines, one of just 10 start-ups around the world to have been invited to the Boeing innovation accelerator programme.

The new ‘Feed Rate Calculator’ web app – the first in a range of smart tools under development by the team at Productive Machines –- empowers manufacturers to make fast decisions about the use of untested milling processes. It allows users to obtain accurate forecasts of cutting forces expected on the cutting tool, thus unlocking significant cost and time savings.

The start-up’s founder, Erdem Ozturk, says: “Our goal is to do nothing less than to put an end to the age-old machining challenge of destructive chatter vibrations. This new app is the first in a line of easy-to-use tools that harnesses the power of AI to provide simple, easy-to-use tools that enable manufacturers to increase cutting efficiency, reduce machine times, prevent waste and improve product quality.”

To celebrate the launch, Productive Machines is offering a limited-time opportunity for manufacturers to try theFeed Rate Calculator for free. The offer allows businesses to experience the benefits of precision machining optimisation first-hand and witness the potential improvements in their operations.

Ozturkadds: “Our team has been working tirelessly to develop tools that will not only make precision machining more efficient, but also more accessible to manufacturers of all sizes. We believe that Feed Rate Calculator will pave the way to our upcoming suite of cloud-based optimisation and predictive maintenance products due to be released next month.”
