Stop babysitting: High-speed MACHINES: Machine-monitoring modules make unattended high-speed machining reliable

摘要

Unexpected factors such as centrifugal force, unbalance, vibration, thermal expansion, and more come into play when machining centers run at high speeds. Compensating for such negative affects typically requires operators plant themselves at machines and manually adjust cutting parameters. While this practice works, it does put a damper on running high-speed machines unmanned for lights-out operations.
