Adaptive control enables more productive use of high speed numerically controlled milling machines. With adaptive control, machines are programmed for optimum material removal, with the controller automatically reducing the material feed rate when heavy load conditions are encountered. The authors outline advantages of adaptive control and describe their testing technique for determining appropriate values for making maximally effective use of adaptive control.
