FFT Chatter Analysis Software CHATTER ANALYSIS
The FFT Chatter Analysis software provides actionable data that
helps your organization improve your quality assurance process
Adcole FFT Chatter Analysis Software is a machined surface, usually caused from the vibration
chatter evaluation solution that enables engineers of the grinder. Adcole Chatter Analysis software
to collect and analyze manufacturing data. This detects high frequency vibrations in unfiltered
tool allows organizations to pinpoint grinder lobe profile error, or journal roundness error, and
performance issues that occur while producing determines the measured amplitude at each specific
precision camshafts, and crankshafts. The software frequency or undulations per revolution (UPR). The
package includes features such as frequency report from this analysis is useful in troubleshooting
analysis of error data over a specified UPR range and correcting manufacturing issues prior to
using standard single or multi-region square parts being out of specification. This process
tolerances, or a tolerance curve based on a formula monitoring tool helps to prevent out of specification
or file. Chatter Analysis Software allows users to components from getting into the supply chain.
look at full 360° data set, or at a specific angular
region within the error file. FFT Chatter Analysis Software provides highly
accurate data and graphical output reports
Using FFT Chatter Analysis software, organizations with the choice of outputs expressed as:
can monitor and optimize their manufacturing
process — thereby improving efficiency, reducing • Measured amplitude (µm or nm) to Undulations
costs and maximizing grinder uptime. Per Revolution (UPR)
