Active Vibration Control for a CNC Milling Machine
Vibration during machining leads to poor part quality and only expensive stiff machine tools are capable of overcoming such influences. This paper describes the development of an active vibration reduction system capable of achieving significant attenuation of machine tool vibration, including machine tool chatter and other excitation forces. The solution is based on detecting input signal and piezo based active stage drives. For expediency and cost considerations the concept was developed using an inexpensive test rig and was demonstrated successfully. The impact of this work led to further commercially development taking place within the European FP7 ADAMOD project.
