3. PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
1. The Industrial issue: Turning of low pressure turbine casing
I4MS 2016: FOSTERING DIGITAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE · 23rd and 24th of June · Amsterdam
The part: Turbine casing 1.8m, h 0.55m th 3-6mm in Inconel 718 alloy
Turning in vertical lathe: vibrations limit cutting conditions + tool life
Consequences: surface quality + rejected parts

I4MS 2016: FOSTERING DIGITAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE · 23rd and 24th of June · Amsterdam
Modification of the fixture
Sensors Vibrations
Actuators Counteract vibrations (Change stiffness and damping)
Control algorithm Adaptive control of vibrations
Clamping position and pressure Adaptive fixture
Reduction set up time Automatic clamps
Solution to rotation motion Embedded system (power & wireless com.)
5. PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
3. Solutions Cedrat Technologies
I4MS 2016: FOSTERING DIGITAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE · 23rd and 24th of June · Amsterdam
Solution of active damping with MICA200M actuator
Close loop command vibration damping
Solution of adaptive fixture stiffness
Actuator press the casing on the fixture support increased stiffness
vibration suppressed
Results
Actuation system (actuator & power supply) integrated in the fixture
New designed compact components (for embedded app.)
6. Development of performing actuation MICA200M
Adaptation from MICA series to INTEFIX application
Improved performance compact actuator => New product
x 3.5 of Acceleration capabilities: 70 G acceleration
Joint development of power supply CSA 96
Power supply for magnetic actuator => New product
Compact high current (20A) power supply
Contribution to INTEFIX
Design & realisation of adapted actuation system within project period
Delivery of 4 MICA200M actuators & 4 CSA96 power supplies
Actuation for the turning
4. Actuation for the turning
