A spindle unit is very important in machine tools. It has a direct effect on machining accuracy. The static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle unit should be considered in the initial design stage for manufacturing of precision product. This study describes an investigation for deriving design stability of a 20,000rpm heavy-cutting spindle for precision machining. Static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle, such as deformation, stress, natural frequency and mode shapes are analyzed using finite element analysis. The 20,000rpm heavy-cutting spindle is confirmed that it is successfully designed through finite element analysis.

A cylindrical type of self-controlled restrictor is designed for hydrostatic bearing of crank shaft for a grinding wheel spindle. The effect of operation parameters, clearance between spindle and housing on bearing stiffness are analyzed to determine the optimum conditions of operation parameters. The lowest values of the supply pressure and the loads by the theoretical and experimental results assuming oil film thickness and shape of pocket are compared.

The spindle system is very important unit for the product accuracy in machine tools. A spindle system is designed by using the angular contact ceramic ball bearings, built-in motor, oil-air lubrication method and oil jacket cooling method. The static and dynamic analysis and stiffness evaluation of 45,000rpm spindle for machine tool has been investigated. Using a finite element method, we obtained some analyzed a static and dynamic characteristics of a spindle, such as natural frequency, harmonic analysis and we got the value of compliance through it. We evaluated stiffness by taking the inverse this value. A 45,000rpm spindle is successfully developed using the results.

Terfenol-D is one of several magnetostrictive materials with property of converting energy into mechanical motion, and vice versa. Magnetostriction is the property that causes certain ferromagnetic materials to change shape in a magnetic field. Terfenol-D is said to produce giant magnetostriction, strain greater than any other commercially available smart material. In this paper, fundamental characteristics analysis of giant magnetostrictive materials(Terfenol-D) has been investigated. The magnetic field analysis is carried out by using finite element method simulation ANSYS. The results show 223N in force and 9.5T in maximum magnetic flux density and 7.56 $10^6A/m$ in maximum magnetic field intensity 1A current. Through the analysis, basic data of Terfenol-D for the application of mechanical system are obtained.

Recently there has been increase in need for high precision and high speed machining due to economic and environmental reasons. It is a very important issue that determines the optimal preload that is to be applied to bearings in order to satisfy the performance required in bearings according to its operation conditions. This study introduces a variable preload device that can automatically adjust the preload applied in a machine tool spindle using centrifugal force as opposed in existing rubber instrument. In this study, the deformation of the rubber device by the centrifugal force is analyzed and it is discussed that the proposed device can be worked properly through changes of the collar density.

The tilting index table has attached to CNC machining center with 3axes, it can be improvement of its performance and its machining efficiency. The tilting index table is a key unit in order to manufacture some non-rotational and 3-dimensional parts, using the conventional machining center. In this study, structural analysis is carried out by FEM simulation using the commercial software ANSYS Workbench 11 to develop tilting index table using direct drive motor. The shape of the tilting index table obtained from the optimization was analyzed and compared with the initial model. Also, the initial model was modified based on the optimization model and the result was verified to have the acceptable improvement.

Recently, many studies have been undergoing to reduce a working time in a field of machine tool. There are two ways of reducing a working time; to reduce an actual working time by heighten a speed of spindle and to reduce a stand-by time by shortening a tool exchanging time. ATC(Automatic Tool changer) belongs to the latter case. Fixed address type ATC that is being developed ill this study can store more number of tool in small space than magazine transfer type ATC relatively as well as shorten tool exchanging time. In this study, a simplified equivalent model of finite element method in order to analyze structure of fixed address type ATC.

The accuracy of high speed feeding type laser cutting M/C is the major factor directly concerned with the accuracy of the processed work, and the feed errors of feed system make the machining errors of work directly on processing. In this point, this study focused on the generative elements in feed errors of laser cutting M/C when operating its laser head. In order to improve the accuracy of this machining center, feed errors are measured by a laser interferometer.

재료의 중량과 강도는 기계부품 특히 항공기의 부품에 중요한 요소가 되므로 가볍고 강인한 열처리 강화 알루미늄이나 티타늄 등이 많이 사용된다. 그러나 알루미늄은 용융점이 낮기 때문에 기계 가공 시 발생되는 열에 의해 부품이 얇고 길수록 쉽게 변형된다. 본 연구는 end milling 가공에서 최적의 절삭 parameter를 선정하여 열 변형을 최소화한다. 밀링 가공의 절삭속도, 이송속도, 절삭 깊이를 실험 인자로 정하여 다구찌 방법으로 실험을 계획하고 얇은 시편을 절삭하여 특성을 측정한다. 결과를 분산분석 (ANOVA) 과 signal to noise 비를 (SNR) 분석하여 최소 열 변형의 절삭 parameter를 찾는다. 실험의 data를 SQL database 프로그램화하여 다양한 절삭 환경에서 최소 열 변형과 최소 표면거칠기의 parameter를 찾을 수 있도록 하였다.

Machining processes produce high accurate metallic parts in metal working industries. Lubrication for machining enhances quality of machined surface and it prolongs the life of cutting tools. Since lubricant is poisonous to human body and environment, it causes occupational diseases for workers and air pollution in environment. Because of these problems generated, developed countries do not permit the excessive usage of lubricant in machining shops. This research focuses on the development of MQL machining technique that consumes minimal amount of lubricant, which reduces possible outbreak of occupational diseases and air pollution. This research sets experimental equipments for MQL machining. Experiments for this study are designed with major machining parameters in MQL. Through the analysis of experiments, this paper presents the optimal machining parameters.
