Beyond bandwidth

Learn how control strategies impact machine tool performance and process stability, and how to choose the right approach for your application. Using a hands-on example, we compare different strategies and show their effect on contour error and achievable stable cutting depth in milling.

Key takeaways

  • High bandwidth does not automatically mean better machining performance
  • Encoder-level performance metrics can be misleading
  • Choosing the right control strategy depends on the application
  • Make more reliable design decisions with quantitative performance predictions

Avoid misleading performance metrics and make more reliable design decisions.

Prediciting precision

Discover how a physics-based, real-time capable thermomechanical digital twin based on our TPM lab toolbox can accurately predict thermal behavior and its impact on machining precision. This customer insight demonstrates how to achieve high-fidelity temperature prediction and improve the understanding of thermally induced errors with minimal effort.

Key takeaways

  • Convection modeling is a main source of uncertainty
  • Physics-based models provide far deeper insight into thermal behavior than purely regression-based methods
  • More than 70% reduction in thermally induced errors with minimal effort

Improve machining accuracy by predicting and compensating thermally induced errors.
