ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a device for determining the dynamics of a tool sited in a CNC machine, as encapsulated by the Frequency Response Function. The device uses an actively controlled electromagnet to excite forces on the tool. The force is excited in a non-contact manner, allowing the force to be applied to both a stationary and a rotating tool. The displacement is measured by standard means, such as accelerometers, optical displacement or capacitance sensors. The ratio of the force and the displacement in the frequency domain is the Frequency Response Function. The force may be applied as a pure sine wave, providing the Frequency Response Function at the frequency of the sine wave. Varying the frequency of the sine wave provides the Frequency Response Function over the range of frequencies of interest. The control of the force profile is handled entirely by the automated controls and requires no special skills, training or manual interaction by the user. No separate force sensor is required, since the electromagnetic force on the tool may be accurately determined from the design of the electromagnet and the tool position, geometry and material.
