The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new method(s) to measure vibrations and chatter in a tool during static and dynamic uses. The tests to control these adverse effects will drastically improve high speed machining characteristics.

 Suggestions??  Surface Finish Reduction  Limit Dimensional Accuracy  Increase Tool Wear  Create High Noise Levels  Reduced Tool Life

elated

 Increasing the tool stiffness  Reducing the cutting depth  Reducing machine speed

 Uses an impulse hammer and then detects the resulting vibrations via an accelerometer or strain gauges near the tip of the tool.  Impulse Hammer is calculated at the simulated force during the cutting process.  Problems:  Can only measure static vibrational characteristics – no dynamic measurements.  Accelerometers are too large and bulky

 Acoustic Pickup Devices (Microphones  Fiber-Optic Displacement Sensors  Capacitance Probes  Inductive Probes  Laser Doppler Effect

1. Provide High Vibration Measurement Accuracy 2. Be insensitive to the machining environment 3. Be both used for characterization prior to the operation as well as during the milling process 4. Induce minimal loading 5. Be compact and low-cost

 Created by Lasson Technologies Inc.  It is a noncontact sensor for vibration testing, monitoring and control related to high-speed machining.  It can monitor vibrations on the cutting tool as well as the work piece and the spindle.  The sensor is also small and easily reconfigured to change to specific positions being monitored.

 It is very valuable  Improves:  Surface Finish  Dimensional Accuracy  Tool Wear Reduction  Noise Reduction  Higher Throughput  Reduced Scrap

Originally designed for Ultrasonic tests -Tests babies for apnea (sounds an alarm if their breathing stops)

 Piezoelectric elements are also used in the detection and generation of sonar waves.  Power monitoring in high power applications (e.g. medical treatment, sonochemistry and industrial processing).  Piezoelectric microbalances are used as very sensitive chemical and biological sensors.  Piezos are sometimes used in strain gauges.  Piezoelectric transducers are used in electric drum pads to detect the impact of the drummer's sticks.  Automotive engine management systems use piezoelectric transducers to detect detonation by sampling the vibrations of the engine block and also to detect the precise moment of fuel injection (needle lift sensors).  Ultrasonic piezo sensors are used in the detection of acoustic emissions in acoustic emission testing.

 Sensors can be integrated into new and existing machines for in-process diagnostics and feedback control  Sensors for off line dynamic tool characterization and process optimization  All technology fields will be affected that want to measure small vibrations in small compact systems.
