How to Calculate and Solve for Work Piece Velocity | Metal Forming processes

Last Updated on March 8, 2021

The image above represents work piece velocity.

To compute for work piece velocity, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Diameter of Job or Tool (D) and Velocity of Job or Tool (N).

The formula for calculating work piece velocity:

v = πDN / 1000 x 60

Where:

v = Work Piece Velocity
D = Diameter of Job or Tool
N = Velocity of Job or Tool

Let’s solve an example;
Find the work piece velocity when the diameter of job or tool is 21 and the velocity of job or tool is 7.

This implies that;

D = Diameter of Job or Tool = 21
N = Velocity of Job or Tool = 7

v = πDN / 1000 x 60
v = π x 21 x 7 / 1000 x 60
v = 461.814 / 60000
v = 0.0076

Therefore, the work piece velocity is 0.0076 m/s.

Calculating the Diameter of Job or Tool when the Work Piece Velocity and the Velocity of Job or Tool is Given.

D = v (1000 x 60) / πN

Where;

D = Diameter of Job or Tool
v = Work Piece Velocity
N = Velocity of Job or Tool

Let’s solve an example;
Find the diameter of job or tool when the work piece velocity is 20 and the velocity of job or tool is 15.

This implies that;

v = Work Piece Velocity = 20
N = Velocity of Job or Tool = 15

D = v (1000 x 60) / πN
D = 20 (1000 x 60) / π x 15
D = 1200000 / 47.12
D = 25466.8

Therefore, the diameter of job or tool is 25466.8.

Calculating the Velocity of Job or Tool when the Work Piece Velocity and the Diameter of Job or Tool is Given.

N = v (1000 x 60) / πD

Where;

N = Velocity of Job or Tool
v = Work Piece Velocity
D = Diameter of Job or Tool

Let’s solve an example;
Find the velocity of job or tool when the work piece velocity is 24 and the diameter of job or tool is 12.

This implies that;

v = Work Piece Velocity = 24
D = Diameter of Job or Tool = 12

N = v (1000 x 60) / πD
N = 24 (1000 x 60) / π x 12
N = 1440000 / 37.70
N = 38196.3

Therefore, the velocity of job or tool is 38196.3.
