We know there is harmonic motion, or periodic vibration, related to machine tool spindle speed and chatter. As the wave cycles visibly indicate, chatter occurs in the unstable region, while the stable region is chatter-free. Machining Navi helps the operator quickly find the optimum cutting conditions within the stable, chatter-free region.
- With Machining Navi M-i, the machine uses sensors to immediately detect conditions, analyze, calculate, and automatically change to a spindle speed for optimum machining.
- Based on the chatter noise captured by the microphone, Machining Navi displays a number of optimal spindle speed possibilities on the screen. The operator can change to the indicated spindle speed with a single touch and immediately confirm the result.
- Cyclically changing the spindle speed to handle chatter from long ID boring bar operations, or long shaft work is effective in handling chatter. Machining Navi-g detects and analyzes chatter, and guides the machine to cut in wave cycles and amplitudes at the ideal spindle speed to produce chatter-free turning operations.
-
- Good cutting can be done even with the machine and tool conditions (cutting speed) raised to near their performance limits.
-
- No more failures in test machining. No waste of expensive materials.
-
- Enjoy trying new materials and tooling that were too difficult to work with in the past.
Please note that there are some types of chatter that Machining Navi cannot suppress.
