Uncontrolled vibration creates multiple problems in metalcutting operations. Varying forces in the cutting process cause vibration and tool chatter that degrade part surface quality, quickly wear or ...

With profits on the line, machine shops that overlook their tooling investments may find themselves struggling to keep pace ...

The system further helps increase productivity by maximizing material removal rate (MRR) and can also provide valuable real-time feedback for predictive maintenance purposes. It is available as a ...

In the last issue of MACHINE DESIGN, we examined methods to predict how vibration-isolation systems would perform. (“Shaking up vibration models,” Nov. 6, 2008, p. 63 to 68.) This discussion centered ...

Lasson Technologies simulated a milling operation at low and high spindle speeds to test its ultrasonic fluid probe. Researchers at Lasson Technologies Inc., Culver City, Calif., have developed an ...

This is a 3D model of a four-cylinder engine in MapleSim software from Maplesoft. The software lets designers use symbolic and numeric techniques to diagnose vibration issues on machines powered by ...

Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) is an occupational vibration exposure that mainly affects people who regularly use all types of vibrating pneumatic, electric, hydraulic and gasoline-powered hand tools.
