Correct chatter problems quickly and easily

The Harmonizer® software selects "THE" optimum spindle speed range for your process.  It utilizes MLI's patented method for detection and avoidance of chatter susceptible spindle speeds based on intelligent selection of spindle speed.   Until now this technique was only available using MLI's Chatter Recognition and Control ("CRAC™") system for NC controllers.  The Harmonizer® software makes it available for non-automated applications at a significantly reduced cost to the user.

• Platform Generic - The package can operate on any Windows 9x/NT^® PC equipped with any version sound card.  A directional microphone is included.  For users interested in convenience, portablility, and cost savings, the Harmonizer® software is available on a Windows^® CE palm-top computer.
  
  
• Chatter Detection - The user is only required to enter the approximate spindle speed and the number of teeth on the cutter. The Harmonizer® software automatically sets the threshold (if requested), and indicates the presence or absence of chatter in the recorded data.
  
  
• Spindle Speed Insensitive - Estimate the current spindle speed and the package automatically ignores spindle speed components and sets chatter thresholds to reliably detect chatter.  When chatter is detected, the Harmonizer® software recommends a stable spindle speed, if one exists.
  
  
• Dynamically Complex Systems - Because the package incorporates MLI's patented "CRAC™" algorithm it can direct the user to perform multiple speed adjustments to deal with cases that exhibit more than a single chatter mode.  Additionally, the package can determine if there are no spindle speeds that will eliminate the chatter.
