Industrial robots are increasingly prevalent due to their large workspace and cost-effectiveness. However, their limited static and dynamic stiffness can lead to issues like mode coupling chatter and regenerative chatter in robotic milling processes, even at shallow cutting depths. These problems significantly impact performance, product quality, tool longevity, and can damage robot components. An active inertial actuator was deployed at the milling spindle to enhance dynamic stiffness and suppress low-frequency vibrations effectively. It was identified that the characteristics of the actuator change with its mounting orientation, a common scenario in robotic machining processes. This variation has not been reported in the literature. Our study includes the identification of model parameters for the actuator in both horizontal and vertical mountings. Additionally, the novelty of the present work lies in the specific design and implementation of compensation filters tailored for the active inertial actuator in both horizontal and vertical configurations. These filters address the unique challenges posed by low-frequency vibrations in robotic milling, offering significant improvements in dynamic stiffness and vibration suppression. Traditional model-based compensators were effective for vertical mounting, while pole-zero placement techniques with minimum phase systems were optimal for horizontal mounting. These compensators significantly enhanced dynamic stiffness, reducing maximum low-frequency robot structural modes by approximately 100% in horizontal mounting and approximately 214% in the vertical configuration of the actuator. This advancement promises to enhance industrial robot capabilities across diverse machining applications.
