The chatter vibration excited during machining process deteriorates quality of workpiece surfaces, and accelerates tool wear. In addition, it often takes long time to find chatter-free cutting conditions. Therefore, a new control system is developed in the present research for searching the optimum spindle speed at which chatter stability is maximized. The developed system detects the chatter vibration that occurs during machining process using a vibration sensor, and then optimizes the spindle speed automatically in real time. This report presents an overview and an application of the developed system.
