Summary

An example of the use of transient acceleration feedback is described. The use of two load masses allows the effectiveness of the technique to be studied at a low (38 Hz) and a high (88 Hz) drive natural frequency. The control system response is evaluated, for input signals, by step and frequency response tests; the output stiffness is assessed by single-tooth milling loads and impact loads. A considerable enhancement of static and dynamic accuracy is demonstrated.
