this paper presents a dynamic analysis of the high-speed spindle system for vertical machining center using finite element techniques. The computed natural frequencies are compared with the measured frequencies obtained from experimental modal analysis. The results show that the bending and twisting deformations of the spindle housign dominated in the lowest modes owing to low dynmic stiffness of the housing structure. The design parameters used in the analysis are:(a) panel thickness of the housing (b) height of the housing and (c) spindle-to-column distance of the housing. Through sensitivity analysis and optimizing simulation considering design constraints an optimal design of the spindle system has been obtained.

In modern engineering practice, the grinding process is one of the most important and widely used operations for the precision finishing of components. In this paper, machining characteristics of external plunge grinding were investigated by using spindle motor current signal through hall sensor. Grinding experiments were performed in terms of various grinding conditions such as wheel speed, workpiece speed, infeed rate and spark-out time with conventional vitrified bonded WA wheel. The relationship between spindle motor current signal and metal removal rate in terms of infeed rate was induced the by analyzing spindle motor current signal.

This paper introduces that the turning center optimizes main and sub spindle's synchronized controller in Open-CNC. In view of optimal design, the mathematical modeling and the frequency domain analysis of spindle's system are simulated. For the minimizing of synchronized error in each spindle's speed, the study of control method and the related control parameter is proposed. By the experiment in prototype machines using the server/client program, the validity of the proposed synchronous error's compensation method is verified.

In milling, cutting tool ins directly attached to spindle and this tells that spindle can provide very useful information on the cutting tool condition such as wear or breakage. Since spindle is rotating at a high speed, measuring spindle velocity using a noncontacting measurement system gives the best information which can be obtained. Due to the force applied to spindle through cutting tool, velocity of spindle changes. And any change in cutting tool condition affects cutting force and consequently spindle vibration. With the intent of continuously monitoring cutting tool condition in intermittent machining operations in a benign manner, a noncontacting velocity measurement system using a laser Doppler velocimeter was assembled to measure spindle torsional vibration. Spindle vibration was measured and analysis of it in the frequency domain yielded a measure which corresponded to amount of cutting tool wear in milling.

The spindle is the main component in machine tools. The static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle directly affect the machining accuracy of workpieces. The characteristics of the spindle depend on the shaft size, bearing span, built-in motor location, and so on. Therefore, the appropriate selection of these parameters is important to improve the spindle characteristics. This paper presents the analysis of the static and dynamic characteristics and optimization design of a 40,000-rpm high-speed spindle. Statistical analysis for optimization and finite element analysis were performed. This study uses the response surface method to optimize the objective function and design factors. The targets are the natural frequency and displacement. The design factors are the shaft length, shaft diameter, bearing span, and motor location. The optimized design provides better results than the initial model, and these results are expected to improve the static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle.

The STW(servo track writing) system which is the process of writing servo signals on disks before assembling in drives uses the spindle motor-chuck mechanism to realize low cost because the spindle motor-chuck mechanism has merit which can simultaneously write multi-disk by piling up disks in hub. Therefore, when the spindle motor-chuck mechanism of horizontal type operates in high rotation speed it is necessary to reduce the effect of RRO(repeatable run-out) and NRRO(non-repeatable run-out) to achieve the high precision accuracy of nano-meter level during the STW process. In this paper, we analyzed that the slip in assembly surfaces can be caused by the mechanical tolerance and clamping force in hub-chuck mechanism and can affect NRRO performance. We designed springs for centering and clamping considering centrifugal force by the rotation speed and assembly condition. The experimental result showed NRRO performance improves about 30 % than case of weak clamping force. The result shows that the optimal design of the spindle motor-chuck mechanism can effectively reduce the effect of NRRO and RRO in STW process.

This paper presents a new speed control scheme of the spindle induction motor(IM) using fuzzy controller(FC) in field weakening region. The implementation of the proposed FC based spindle Induction Motor(IM) is compared to those obtained from the conventional PI controller based drive system. The simulation and experimental results show that the FC is the high performance more than the conventional PI speed controller in the spindle drive systems.

Internet provides the useful method to monitor the current states of the machine tool no matter where a personnel monitors it. In this paper, a monitoring method of the torque of the machine tool's spindle induction motor using interne is suggested. To estimate the torque accurately, spindle driving system of an CNC lathe is divide into two parts, induction motor part and mechanical part attached to the induction motor spindle. Magnetizing current is calculated from the measured 3 phase currents without speed sensor used to estimate the torque generated by an induction motor. In mechanical part of the system, some of the torque is used to overcome friction and remaining torque is used to overcome cutting force. An equation to estimate friction torque is drawn as a function of cutting torque and rotation speed. Graphical programming is used to implement the suggested algorithm. to monitor the torque of an induction motor in real time and to make the estimated torque monitored on client computers. Torque of the spindle induction motor is well monitored on the client computers in about 3% error range under various cutting conditions.

High speed machining was accomplished. through the technological advances which covers the whole field of mechanical industry. But tapping have many troubles because of its complicate cutting mechanism, for example. tool damage, chip elimination and synchronization between spindle rotation and feed motion. But High speed tapping is so important that it marches in step with the flow of the times and make improvement in the productivity. In this paper we analyze mechanism of high speed synchronized tapping with the signal of tapping torque and spindle speed obtained through the newly developed high speed tapping machine(NTT-30B). We made an experiment with this machine on condition of various speed from 1000rpm to 10000rpm. As one complete thread is performed through the whole chamfer cutting, cutting torque increases highly in chamfer cutting, but smoothly in full thread cutting functioning of the threads guide. And the size of cutting torque according to spindle speed(rpm) was not enough of a difference to be conspicuous.

There are two important variables in machining process control, which are feed and cutting speed. It is possible to improve the machining accuracy and the productivity by maintaining the optimal feed and cutting speed. IN this work, a controller is designed to achieve on-line cutting force control based on the modeling of cutting process dynamics established through step response test. Two schemes are proposed and implemented. The first is feed control under the constant spindle speed and the second is spindle speed control under the constant feed. Finally, both are proved to work properly through simulation and experimentation.
