Monitoring of Vibrations in the Technology of AWJ

Abstract:

Vibrations of cutting head act as co-factor causing striation of machined work-piece surface, deteriorating its surface quality. In this paper, measurement and evaluation of vibrations generated during the AWJ machining is performed using specialized diagnostic systems. In conclusion, means to minimize influence of cutting-head vibrations on the machined work-piece surface quality are discussed.
