Parting-off operation is carried out on a cylindrical work-piece of $$100mm$$ diameter. The groove width is $$2$$ $$mm$$ and an in feed of $$0.2$$ $$mm$$ per revolution is given at a maximum cutting speed of $$60$$ $$m/mm.$$ The specific cutting force for the material is $$800\,\,N/m{m^2}.$$

The maximum power requirement for the operation is

$$FMS$$ is well suited to mass scale manufacturing.

In $$DNC$$ each machine tool is controlled by a dedicated computer.

$$FAPT$$ is a part programming language.
