Simulation assessment of suspension of tool vibrations during machining

Abstract

Knowledge of an impact of a linked mass on a behavior of machine tools is a useful guide for their designers. This paper demonstrates a general approach which leads to a set of locally optimal parameters of mass, whose connection to the machine consequently suppresses vibrations during machining. The approach is based on simulation modeling of mechatronic systems with flexible bodies. Obtained parameters can be structurally interpreted e.g. as damper or absorber for the needs of the design already in preproduction stages. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
