In this paper, an efficient method is proposed to analyze the radial error of a miniaturized-high speed spindle system. Initially, a device is constructed for measuring the radial error motion using capacitance sensors. The capacitance sensors are placed perpendicular to the axis of the shaft and at 90o to each other. The spindle is rotated at high speed and the profile of the spindle is recorded. An algorithm is developed for analyzing the spindle data and determining the radial error of spindle. The present algorithm uses homogeneous transform matrix (HTM) method and iterative process for determining the radial error. The analysis procedure is performed for different speeds of the spindle. The data obtained from the present system and the results of evaluation are also presented in this paper. It is observed that this method is effective in determining and analyzing the spindle errors for high speed miniaturized spindle.

Disk radial runout creates a periodic relative motion between the laser beam spot and tracks formed on an optical disk. While only focus control is activated, the periodic relative motion yields sinusoid-like waves in the tracking error signal, where one cycle of the sinusoid-like waves corresponds to one track. The frequency of the sinusoid-like waves varies depending on the disk rotational speed and the amount of the disk radial runout. If the frequency of the tracking error signal in the off-track state is too high due to large radial runout of the disk, it is not a simple matter to begin track-following control stably. It might take a long time to reach a steady state or tracking control might fail to reach a stable steady state in the worst case. This article proposes a simple method for reducing the relative motion caused by the disk radial runout in the off-track state. The relative motion in the off-track state is effectively reduced by a drive input obtained through measurements of the tracking error signal and simple calculations based on the measurements, which helps reduce the transient response time of the track-following control. The validity of the proposed method is verified through an experiment using an optical disk drive.

Moire principles are applied to the measurement of the spindle radial error motion. As opposed to conventional techniques, no master cylinder or ball is needed in the measurement so that the offset and out-of-roundness errors of the master can be inherently eliminated. Two periodic circular gratings are used, one is made on the spindle and the other is held stationary on the reference frame. When the two gratings are seen superimposed during spindle rotation, an interference fringe pattern is observed from which the information on the eccentricity between the two gratings can be extracted with high precision. The optical design and fringe analysis techniques of a prototype measurement system are described in detail with exemplary measurement results.

It is very important to test motion accuracy and performance of NC machine tools as they affect that of all other machines machined by them in industry. In this paper, in has become possible to detect errors of linear displacement of radial direction for circular motion test using newly assembled magnetic type of linear scales so called Magnescale ball bar system, and to calculate time interval getting error motion data and revolution angle of circular motion in machining center using tick pulses come out from computer. And a set of error data gotten from test is expressed to a plot by computer treatment and to numerics of error motion by statistical treatment and results of test are compared with those of Renishaw ball bar system.

In order to improve the rotational performances of NC lathe spindle system in high speed range, a new type(Floating-type driven by V-belt)spindle system was optimally designed and experimented. Through the results of the experiments, the rotational performances of the new type spindle system was discussed and compared with the three equivalent conventional lathe spindle systems. The spindle rotational accuracy( radial error motion of spindle axis), the accelation and the temperature rise of the front spindle bearings for the non-cutting operation were considered as the spindle rotational performances. The radial error motion of the spindle axis was measured by applying the modified L.R.L. method. Compared with the equivalent conventional spindle systems, the following results were obtained. (1) The new type spindle system reduces the radial error motion of the spindle axis in high speed range(1800rpm-2000rpm). (2) The new type spindle system reduces the acceleration and the temperature rise of the spindle bearings considerably with increasing the spindle speed. It is also confirmed that, by this new type spindle system, the max. allowable speed can be increased with satisfying the spindle rotational performances.

This paper presents a novel cylindrical capacitive sensor (CCS) for both radial and axial motion measurements. Although the new CCS has almost the same geometric configuration as the conventional CCS, the unused axial area of the CCS is utilized to measure the axial motion of the rotor, which can affords more compact design and reduction of the system complexity. First, a theoretical model of the proposed CCS is derived. Based on the derived theoretical model, compensation methods to decouple the radial and axial motion measurements are proposed. In addition, error analysis is performed and a design rule is proposed to guarantee the same accuracy in measuring both radial and axial motions. Finally, a test rig and electronics for the proposed CCS are built and the effectiveness of the proposed CCS is verified with experiments and simulations.
