VR Mobile vs ChipSense CNC

VR Mobile connects to any Vibration Research hardware device for live vibration test monitoring via an iPhone or iPad. It also contains engineering calculators, a light strobe, a noise SPL meter, and an accelerometer--all from your mobile device! FEATURES: Connect to the ObserVR1000 dynamic signal analyzer and data acquisition (DAQ) device - Set up inputs and record & monitor data - Live FFT Analysis - Use your mobile device's camera to record video in sync with your ObserVR1000 and/or GoPro® camera(s) Remotely control vibration tests running in the VibrationVIEW software - Start/stop tests - View graphs - Adjust amplitude and frequency VR Library - Complete courses, take quizzes and earn certificates on VR University - Browse articles, case studies, engineering tools, research papers, and more - Watch video tips and tech talks - Gain access to VR product manuals Max acceleration calculator - Calculate the maximum acceleration a shaker can output based on system mass Unit converter - Convert acceleration, force, mass, velocity, displacement, and more Sine calculator - Calculate acceleration, frequency, velocity, and displacement based on sinusoidal motion Shock calculator - Select the impact type (plastic or elastic) and the pulse type, and the shock calculator will calculate the remaining two values given two inputs: acceleration, impact time, velocity change, and height change Noise meter - Measure the minimum, current, and maximum decibels (dB) from your mobile device's microphone Accelerometer - Measure the minimum, current, and maximum acceleration in each of your mobile device's accelerometer axes - Zero-out acceleration to calibrate for an uneven surface Strobe light - Strobe your device's screen and/or flash LED from 1 to 30 Hz; strobing helps display objects vibrating too fast for the eye to see VR products - View VR's vibration test controllers and dynamic signal analyzers - Watch YouTube videos from VR - Visit VR's website - Browse VR's LinkedIn page

ChipSense turns your iPhone into a real-time cutting coach for your CNC router or mill. It does something no other app does: it fuses AUDIO and VISION. ChipSense listens to the cut through the microphone to detect the acoustic signature of regenerative chatter and rising tool load, and at the same time reads the wood grain through the camera to spot knots and hard, figured areas before your bit reaches them. It combines both into a single, live Cut Risk — and tells you exactly when to ease the feed, and when to stop. WHY IT MATTERS • Chatter and overload are how bits dull, snap, and ruin a workpiece. They almost always announce themselves in the sound of the cut — a few seconds before the damage. • Hard grain and knots are visible before you hit them. ChipSense sees them coming. • Catch either early and you save bits, save stock, and get a cleaner finish. WHAT YOU GET • Live cut-state read-out: Idle, Nominal, Heavy load, Chatter, Critical. • Chatter detection tuned to reject spindle-synchronous tones (it knows the difference between the normal cut and self-excited chatter). • Camera grain map that highlights knots and hard grain as a live heatmap. • A fused Cut Risk that combines what it hears and what it sees. • A clear feed advisory — ease off, hold, or all clear — with a suggested feed-rate override. • Built-in demo scenarios so you can see exactly how it responds to a knot, chatter, or a clean cut, with no machine and no setup. HOW TO USE IT Prop your iPhone near the cutting zone with a view of the workpiece, start monitoring, and cut. ChipSense advises in real time. It is a monitoring and advisory tool — it does not control your machine directly. Patent pending. Built by machinists, for machinists.
