Adaptive Feedback Control of Machine-Tool Vibration based on The Filtered-x LMS-algorithm

摘要

Adaptive feedback control of tool vibrations during metal cutting in a lathe has been investigated. he vibrations were controlled in the primary cutting direction and the control is based on the filtered-x LMS-algorithm. It was found that the adaptive feedback control can achieve a reduction of the tool vibrations with up to 35 dB at 1.7 kHz and simultaneously with approximately 30 dB at 3.1 kHz. A significant improvement of the workpiece surface was experienced together with a substantial reduction of the acoustic noise level with adaptive feedback control. Tool life is also expected to be extended and the material removal rate can probably be increased.
