Characteristic Analysis and Optimization for the Tailstock Body of the NC Lathe

Abstract:

The characteristics of the NC Lathe tailstock has great influence on the machining accuracy of NC machine tools. Solidworks software is used to establish the tailstock body entity model, then import it into the Workbench software for finite element analysis and conclude its dynamic and statics characteristics. According to the result of the analysis on the topology optimization. Guarantee after optimization, the tailstock body not only can satisfy the requirement of machine tool, the quality can also be reduced by 5%. In saving material at the same time also can reduce the motion inertia, improve the machining accuracy.Keywords: tailstock body; statics analysis; modal analysis; topology optimization; Workbench;
