High Speed Milling Vibration Surveillance with Optimal Spindle Speed Based on Optimal Speeds Map

The paper presents the method of the surveillance of the self-excited chatter vibration. At first, the workpiece modal parameters are estimated based on experimental data which leads to verification of computational model. Then, for selected surface points optimal spindle speeds are calculated. By considering sufficient amount of points it is possible to build a map of optimal spindle speeds. Experimental results show that this map may be used effectively for eliminating chatter in case of the process of ball end milling of a curved flexible detail.
