Chatter is an unfavorable phenomenon in turning operation causing poor surface quality. Active chatter elimination methods require the chatter to be detected before the control reacts. In this paper, a chatter detection method based on a coherence function of the acceleration of the tool in the x direction and an audio signal is proposed. The method was experimentally tested on longitudinal turning of a stock bar and facing of a hollow bar. The results show that the proposed method detects the chatter in an early stage and allows correcting control actions before the chatter influences the surface quality of the workpiece. The method is applicable both to facing and longitudinal turning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
