A Review on Vibration Causes, Effects and Control in Machine Tools

Abstract—

Machine tool vibration is an acute issue that can 
have a negative impact on the efficiency, precision, and 
dependability of machining operations. Vibrations impact the 
machining operation's background noise, tool life, and the 
standard of the manufactured art. Thus, these bothersome 
vibrations have to be subdued while machining. The review 
abridges the effects of vibration (poor surface finish, increased 
tool wear and reduced machining accuracy etc.), with a focus 
on active, passive and semi active vibration which are the 
techniques to control vibration characteristics and the recent 
developments on technology involving vibration. Series of 
operations are reviewed with different approaches to control 
vibration in their machine tools. This paper offers a thorough 
grasp of machine tool vibration phenomena, their impact on 
machining efficiency, and methods for assessment and 
mitigation. Challenges have been assessed with preferable 
solutions provided by researchers for future related studies.
