← TechnologyWhich limit causes chatter in high-speed CNC lathes?
A)Resonance frequency matching cutter loads✓
B)Excessive coolant application oscillation inputs
C)Inadequate lubrication on spindle velocity
D)Workpiece thermal expansion overcoming tolerance
💡 Explanation
Chatter results from the resonance frequency matching cutter loads, exciting self-oscillations due to regenerative effects. This induces vibration impacting surface finish, because mode shapes are excited; therefore resonance is root cause rather than coolant/speed/thermal effects.
