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
 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
