Frigate uses temperature-compensated control logic integrated with thermal drift correction modules. This stabilizes spindle movement during prolonged operations on high-mass shafts. Active cooling jackets are calibrated for each material expansion coefficient. This ensures concentricity and roundness remain within tight tolerance windows across full-length turning cycles.
Frigate applies multi-axis toolpath smoothing with low radial engagement strategies. In-process probing evaluates micro-surface irregularities, and feedback loops adjust cutting force vectors in real-time. This ensures compressive residual stress is preserved, avoiding fatigue microcracks. Surface finish values below 0.8 Ra are consistently achieved for hub mating zones.
Frigate integrates real-time vibration suppression using adaptive spindle RPM modulation. The system analyzes harmonic resonance and adjusts tool position dynamically to avoid nodal interference. Specialized anti-chatter tool holders with tuned mass dampers further reduce tool-tip displacement. This eliminates chatter bands, ensuring precise outer diameters over extended lengths.
Frigate’s closed-loop coordinate referencing system anchors the turning path to fixed datum structures. Machine thermal mapping and backlash compensation are preloaded into the control software. Tool wear is auto-corrected using pre-set tool life models. This delivers sub-30 micron positional repeatability even in high-volume production runs.
Frigate uses tool wear data analytics linked with load sensor feedback to predict insert degradation. Coated inserts with edge preparation geometry are selected based on specific alloy machinability indexes. Insert indexing is automated through spindle-pause triggers to reduce unplanned downtime. This minimizes tool consumption while maximizing cut-per-edge value.
