Tube drawing operations can benefit greatly from preventing chatter and mitigating the human error in detecting it. Instead of waiting for the chatter to escalate and potentially damage your workpieces and tools, it’s best to detect chatter in its earliest stages and reduce drawing speed right away. QASS developed a high-speed vibration analysis system that listens to your machine. It consists of a piezoelectric sensor and a computing unit that can be integrated into many existing tube drawing operations. With optimal sensor placement, early signs of chatter can be detected and addressed before it leaves permanent marks on your product and damages tools. In combination with other best practices in tube manufacturing, the QASS system can help you avoid chatter entirely.
