An Experimental Study on the Rotational Performances of NC Lathe Spindle System

NC 선반주축 의 회전성능 향상 을 위한 실험적 연구

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.

본 연구에서는 최신형 슬란트베드(slant-bed)타입의 중절삭용 NC선반주축을 대상으로 하여, 구동방식의 변경-기어변속장치를 주축으로부터 완전히 분리시키고 V벨 트에 의해 구동되는 후로팅방식의 새로운 주촉구조를 설계-을 통하여 고속에서의 주축 의 회전성능 향상을 시도하였고, 실험을 통하여 그 회전성능을 전형적인 3개의 서로 다른 재래식 선반주축모델들의 값과 비교 고찰하였다.
