Reduce chatter. Increase productivity. Improve surface quality.

ROS-DAMPER is a tool centre point mounted electromagnetic active damping system that suppresses vibration in real time at the cutting interface.

It increases dynamic stiffness, improves process stability and reduces tool wear.

Structural and Dynamic Limitations in Robotic Milling

Industrial robotic milling is constrained by low structural stiffness and posture dependent dynamics.

These characteristics make robotic systems highly susceptible to vibration and chatter under cutting loads, resulting in:

  • Conservative cutting parameters

  • Longer cycle times

  • Inconsistent surface finish

  • Accelerated tool wear

  • Reduced productive capacity

Real-Time Active Vibration Control for Robotic Milling

01

Tool Centre Point Active Damping

ROS-DAMPER mounts directly at the tool centre point, applying controlled counter forces exactly where vibration begins.

02

High Bandwidth Sensing

Integrated sensing detects dynamic instability in real time, capturing vibration before chatter can develop.

03

FPGA Based Control

Dedicated FPGA control enables millisecond level response for precise force compensation during cutting.

04

Expanded Stable Machining Envelope

Improves dynamic stiffness, allowing higher cutting parameters without sacrificing stability or surface quality.

05

Improved Productivity and Tool Life

Reduces chatter induced wear, improves surface finish and increases overall machining reliability.
