Patent 8005574 was granted and assigned to Okuma Corporation on August, 2011 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A stable rotation speed is acquired by finely changing a rotation speed of a rotary shaft 3 based on an expected stable rotation speed, and calculating an amount of change of a k′ number, and the like. Therefore, a more accurate rotation speed can be acquired, and “chatter vibration” generated during machining can be suppressed more effectively than a conventional method. As a result, a quality of a workpiece surface can be improved, and a tool wear and the like can be suppressed.
