Effects of Axial Spindle Vibration on Surface Generation in Ultra-Precision Diamond Turning

Abstract:

In ultra-precision diamond turning (UPDT), axial spindle vibration (ASP) plays a crucial role influencing nanometric surface quality. In this study, a simplified model for ASP is proposed to study its effects on surface generation in UPDT as the spindle is idealized as a mass-spring-damper system. Significantly, the model successfully explains that ASP induces radial patterns at a machined surface. More importantly, this proposed model can be employed to easily predict and understand the effects of ASP on surface generation in UPDT.
