Basic measures to eliminate oscillation in CNC lathes

CNC lathe oscillation is a common problem that needs to be taken seriously because it can lead to reduced machining quality, increased tool wear, and shortened machine tool life. Here are some basic measures that can help eliminate or mitigate oscillations on your CNC lathe:


1. Reasonable cutting parameter selection:

Make sure to choose the appropriate cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Too large or too small cutting parameters may cause oscillation.


2. Tool selection and tool condition:

Use appropriate knives and make sure they are in good condition. Worn or damaged tools can easily cause oscillations.


3. Reasonable cutting force direction:

Consider the direction of the cutting force and make it as symmetrical as possible to reduce the generation of unbalanced forces.


4. Stable workpiece clamping:

Use reliable fixtures and workpiece holding methods to ensure that the workpiece remains stable during processing.


5. Machine tool foundation and structural inspection:

Regularly check the machine tool foundation and structure of the CNC lathe to ensure there are no loose or damaged parts.


6. Reduce the rigidity difference:

Reduce the stiffness difference between the workpiece and the fixture to avoid vibration caused by the stiffness difference.


7. Reduce the uncut allowance:

Reducing the uncut allowance can reduce cutting forces and help reduce the occurrence of vibration.


8. Vibration measurement and monitoring:

Use vibration sensors to measure vibration and monitor the status of machine tools in a timely manner to detect oscillation problems early.


9. CNC system parameter adjustment:

Adjust the parameters of the CNC system, such as acceleration, deceleration, etc., to adapt to different processing conditions.


10. Regular maintenance:

Perform regular machine tool maintenance, including lubrication, tightening bolts, replacing worn parts, etc., to ensure normal operation of the machine tool.


The selection and implementation of the above measures should be adapted to the specific machine tool, processing conditions and workpiece characteristics. When encountering oscillation problems, it is recommended to find the root cause through vibration analysis, simulation and testing, and take appropriate measures to solve it.
