Workpiece deflection compensation using a two-dimensional toolpost

摘要

Considering the workpiece elastic deflection in a turning process, a simulation model that accounts for the radial and tangential vibrations and their abatement using active control is developed. The model is simulated using Simulink in a Matlab environment to assess the possibility of using an active actuator to reduce vibrations in two directions. The results demonstrate the significance of the workpiece elastic deformation and its compensation using active actuators. Actuators that can compensate for the piece deflection and the vibrations due to the surface roughness are speculated upon.
