Abstract
This paper investigates the benefits of the inerter in improving vibration suppression of milling machine tools. The traditional method for repressing the cutting vibration of milling machines includes applying passive mechanical networks that consist of masses, dampers, and springs. However, because the mass element is not a genuine two-terminal network element, the achievable performance of the passive mechanical networks might be restricted. The inerter was invented to substitute the mass element and has been successfully applied to many mechanical systems, such as vehicles and buildings. This paper extends the application of the inerter to a milling machine and discusses the resulting vibration suppression improvements. We first built a model of the milling machine via experiments, followed by applying three basic suspension layouts to the model and illustrating how the inerter can help reduce system vibration. Lastly, we conducted experiments to verify the effectiveness of the inerter in improving the manufacturing performance of the milling machine.
