Vibration of Production Machines

The vibration analysis of a production machine is a key factor of its functionality, service life and occupational safety. This work deals with mathematical dynamic modelling and its contribution to the improvement of a mechanical design and mechanism failure prevention. The whole process is presented on the example of a drum cam rotary indexing table and on the example of actuators of multi spindle automatic lathes. The analysis consisted of complex nonlinear models based on basic linear models. It was computed using Matlab, Simulink and MSC ADAMS. Models of these mechanisms were validated with experimental measurements. The results were used for mechanical design improvement and for speed control optimization
