An accelerometer-based active vibration-control system for CNC machine tools is designed to improve machining productivity by maximizing material removal rate (MRR), with the result that tool-head ...

Active systems can actually take several different forms, although "position" and "acceleration" servos have been alluded too. Additionally, the servo’s basic performance can be increased using ...

Today’s ac servo systems are much different than those built even 10 years ago. Faster processors and higher resolution encoders are enabling manufacturers to implement amazing advances in tuning ...

Step motor control offers a powerful alternative in the right applications. Step motors are popular first and foremost because they are easy to use. They do not require an encoder to maintain their ...

Vibration testing emerged in the early 1960s as electronics systems became more complex and widely available. This led to a need for greater reliability, with one of the major early adopters being the ...
