Machine Learning-based Online Stability Lobe Diagram Estimation and Chatter Suppression Control in Milling Process
Abstract
Chatter is a self-excited vibration in milling that degrades surface quality and accelerates tool wear. This paper presents an adaptive process controller that suppresses chatter by leveraging machine learning-based online estimation of the Stability Lobe Diagram (SLD) and surface roughness in the process. Stability analysis is conducted using the semi-discretization method for milling dynamics modeled by delay differential equations. An integrated machine learning framework estimates the SLD from sensor data and predicts surface roughness for chatter detection in real time. These estimates are integrated into an optimal controller that adaptively adjusts spindle speed to maintain process stability and improve surface finish. Simulations and experiments are performed to demonstrate the superior performance compared to the existing approaches.
