Machine Tool Vibrations

Machine Tool Vibrations

one of the means of increasing the machining accuracy and improving the surface finish is to isolate the machine tool from the vibrations of the foundation base

This is called Passive Isolation as distinguished from Active Vibration Isolation in which the external source of vibrations is isolated so that vibrations are not transmitted to the foundation. Passive vibration isolation is of prime importance, especially for precision machine tools
