  • In this Tip of the Day, Mark addresses an issue that every machinist has faced at some point: chatter. Mark is at his best in this video, taking a complex topic and breaking it down into three categories that are easy to follow. Make sure you - and every operator and machinist in your shop - check this one out.

    It is indeed a 10,000ft view and it was nice to hear that mentioned. Understanding the fundamental reasons and methods and then being able to apply them is such a valuable skill in manufacturing. I think these videos showcase the fundamentals quite well. Also, Mark your personality is very inviting and you bring a sense of practically to these otherwise theoretical ideas. And, that tuning fork was an awesome demonstration! I have watched quite a few of these videos, and I hope to watch quite a few more.

    I can speak to how well constant engagement tool paths work on my CRAZY janky benchtop CNC machine that weighs no more than 150 lbs tops. Yes it still is a flimsy machine but constant engagement tool paths really do make a difference! That said also figuring out each machines "sweet spot" with RPM & feed helps a lot with eliminating or reducing chatter. Just because your calculations say 5,000 RPM at 20 IPM does not mean that 4,500 RPM and 22 IPM does not work best!

    This is an excellent explanation of resonance frequencies. Following the tooling manufactures recommended feeds and speeds help avoid this as well.

  • @buckstarchaser2376
    @buckstarchaser2376 5 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    It seems like a natural progression of the technology would be to place a simple acoustic pickup, and use it to auto-tune the settings. This could prevent chatter that is below human detection threshold, and respond faster than a human can. It would also require less hand-holding so the operator could do more productive tasks, such as napping, eating, or slacking in general.

  • @ozwhistles
    @ozwhistles 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the tip! Excellent real physics at work!
    What I do to stop resonating chatter with old-school lathe turning is to rub the rotating job with a notched piece of wood. This is done at 120 degrees of the tool and against the moving resonant peak where the job wants to flex. I have learned different speeds to do this so that it is just out of tune with the job as it changes over the cut. What it does is cause phase cancellation in the resonance which is trying to set-up.
    It takes a bit of experience to zone-in on the rub-rate of the notched stick, but when you know why you are doing it, it doesn't take all that long.
    Of course, applying any kind of force to the job will alter the tolerance of the result - but my experience is that the deviation is less than what is caused by the chatter.
    In an expensive "new-school" environment, I could see a cheap alternative being to mount an acoustic transducer in the job-holding structure to detect and cancel chatter in real time. It would seem far cheaper and quicker to have that, instead of spending time on toolpaths, de-tuned cutting tools and brute-force cutting speed adjustments .. also doing the constant cut toolpaths lengthens production-rate.
    Has anyone done such a dynamic de-resonator?
    If not .. maybe you should? There might be a few bucks in that .. I'm happy with my notched-stick.

  • @rocketscience777999
    @rocketscience777999 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great Video. For similar reasons, turbine blades on gas turbine engines have their natural frequencies tuned so
    that they are at least 20% above or below the rotational speed of the rotor.

    You guys deserve a damn pulitzer prize. The videos are expertly done with astonishing graphics how did you show the cutter path with the item sitting on the table? amazing Im impressed and I am 66. On the longer jaws about 1/4 in by the way if someone happens upon this You can also put clamps across the 2 ends of the jaws to hold them together better for more dampening.. The videos are so good and it also gets people more friendly to haas and view them as "good support after the purchase and real humans you can talk to"--alot of the other cnc that is totally missing.

    I knew about adaptive clearing/constant engagement strategies but didn’t realise chatter could be reduced by using them.
    Great tip, thank you HAAS.
    One day when I finally get a proper production style VMC such as a HAAS, this knowledge will be invaluable

    @FredFlintstone21 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mark thanks for taking the time to make this video. We have a 2018 haas vf5- 50 xt mill, everything is going great on that front. Now we are replacing a 1997 kuraki horizontal mill with a new giddings & lewis horizontal mill. All the production parts from the kuraki are being moved to the G&L. I can take the same tool from the kuraki, that had no chatter issues, and on the G&L with the same tool path, it chatters. And the spindle is 155 mm dia on the G&L, vs 150 mm on the kuraki. Even our 669.95 mm boring bar will chatter on the 8.5 mm chamfer it cuts. Alot of times all I can do is greatly reduce rpm and feed. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the machine. Maybe pull stud draw slower on the G&L? Would be worth having maintenance test this between the two machines. The other thing is, since the G&L is a new machine, everything is tight, maybe that is playing into the chatter.
    Going from our 2003 vf5 that we traded in, we had zero issues with milling or anything else converting the programs over.

    • @bbarker5766
      @bbarker5766 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Trenton Buss their programs were wasting to much time and not getting good parts. Before I made the changes they would make double the parts to only get half or less than half good one's out of what they cut (I worked with glass). When I changed it they cut 700 parts for a 325 piece order and I turned out 689 good parts that everyone there said looked better than anything they ran before even all of the QA people. So yeah I guess I did show them. I did the job they hired me for. 😉

    @zombieresponder 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    That is far from the most annoying sound in the world. I used to spend 12 hours a day running a Makino Mag 1, sometimes almost 80 hours a week. On roughing large workpieces, we ran a 1" two flute at 3/8" axial DOC, a full 1" radial WOC, approximately 28k rpm, and between 700 and 800 IPM. I do not miss listening to it scream. The tool changer on that machine was slower than a 30+ year old Matsura that my current employer had until recently. I never timed it, but it was probably 45 seconds minimum to change a tool. Next to quitting time, those brief periods of near silence were the best part of the day.

    Same thing on the lathe, sometimes it is better to increase the pass depth to avoid tool bounce resonance, especially on hollow parts. Nothing worse than resonance in the finish cut.

    @moocowgobark22 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another tip you can try in increasing the feed rate. by taking a bigger chip, you force the tool to be "stuck" between the chip while its cutting and the material that isnt cut thus eliminated that vibration.
    You can also switch from climb cutting to conventional. that will keep the work piece pushed away from the tool instead of climb cutting which will 'grab' the work piece

    All these tips are great...however. There are cases where none of these may eliminate the problem. There is another tip I can share. Back when I was young often times you could hear tires on cars and trucks making a loud whining noise while rolling. Trucks were the worst. It was caused by the tread having the same pitch all the way around the tire. This caused harmonic vibration and the whine. It was found that by changing the tread pitch around the tire in segments that it eliminated the harmonics. Modern tires most likely have from 6 to 8 different tread pitches. The same thing occurs with end mills because the edges have the same radial pitch. One time I was having the chatter problem with long EM on CNC and when setting a new tool into the machine I accidentally chipped the corner off of one edge. I decided to use it anyway. It cut smooth!
    I discussed my find with a friend of mine that was vice pres. of a major carbide cutting tool company. So we did testing in my shop. He was able to produce an endmill with variable pitch. On a four flute EM it is not 90 deg. to each edge. 89 /91/90/90. His company began producing these EM's for the market. After more experimenting they found that they can alter the helix also from one edge to the next. I think today there are many manufactures of these types of EM's.
