Analysis of machine tool installation on the base

Abstract

Vibrations that emerge when parts are being processed on a machine tool may result in the malfunction and premature wear of the given tool. A wide range of vibration sources and the effects they cause requires various means of vibration protection to be used. For this purpose, machine tools are installed directly on the shop floor with, various foundations and anti-vibration mountings. This article deals with the efficiency of these vibration-isolation devices.
