Analysis of Machine Tool Spindles under Load

Abstract:

This paper deals with a new experimental approach to the analysis of radial, axial, and tilt error movements of machine tool spindles under load. The main focus is on the identification of error spindle movements under different machine operation conditions between 500 - 5000 rev / min and loads in the range of 50 - 500 N. Errors of the spindle movements are measured on the cylindrical workpiece using capacitance sensors for different loads. The analysis of measurements of radial, axial, and tilt error movements of machine tool spindle indicates a dependency of loads and measured errors. The integration of error measurements into novel multi-body dynamic models of machine tool spindles is very important for prediction of machine behaviour during a cutting process and for prediction of workpiece geometric accuracy.
