Vibration Monitoring
Harmonizer utilizes Broad banded frequency analysis. Audio detection of machining vibration. Identification of chatter and “suspected” resonant conditions Deterministic process parameter (speed and feed)
corrections to minimize vibration. Harmonizer implementations include:
Handheld vibration monitor Most basic and lowest performing.
Web Based Occasional use, as needed, requires TCP/IP connection. Can
also implement web-based monitoring. General computer software
Full functioning vibration analyzer with chatter control features. NC Integrated
NC control linking with adaptive capacity.
