Conclusion
Producers of equipment for oil and gas, power generation and aerospace customer are prime
candidates for use of passive/dynamic vibration control systems because each of these industry
segments regularly deals with large, complex parts with features that require the use of
extended-length tools. Additionally, such parts usually are made from tough alloys that are
difficult to machine and thereby produce high, vibration-generating cutting forces. However,
it is clear that nearly every manufacturer faces applications where the vibration-absorbing
properties of Steadyline tooling can expand their capabilities, improve their productivity and
reduce their costs.

Tool Mounting Guidelines
Steadyline tools are essentially “plug-and-play:” the built-in damping system is ready
to use without further preparation. To achieve best results, the bars must be mounted directly
on the machine without intermediary extensions or reductions. When mounting the tools on
a machine, the Seco-Capto system is recommended due to its rigid, simultaneous face and
taper contact and high bending resistance that maximize accurate positioning of the cutting
edge. When Seco-Capto is not an option, cylindrical bars should be clamped in a split boring
bar holder and inserted to 4xD, which is marked by the second line on the bar.
