Thermal characteristics according to the cooling methods are studied for the three type spindles with high frequency motor. For the analysis, three dimensional mode]s are built considering heat transfer characteristics such as natural and force convection coefficients. Unsteady-state temperature distributions and thermal deformations according to the cooling conditions are analyzed by using the finite element method.

This paper proposes the thermal characteristics of motor integrated spindle on high precision lathe and investigates the thermal deformation and the running error of spindle. The deformation and the running error of spindle shaft are continuously measured by the gapsensor mounted on machine. The temperature distribution is measured bythe thermal vision system and the thermocouple. The results show that the running error of spindle is dependent on the rotational speed and the thermal deformation.

The heat generation is the most important problem in the motor integrated spindle. Double cooling jacket in necessary to reduce the thermal displacement and to get the stable temperature disribution for the housing. In this study, the effects of temperature distribution and thermal displacement for the spindle system according to the variation of cooling oil flow rate are investigated experimentally on the motor-integrated spindle with double cooling jacket system. The experimental spindel system is composed with the angular contact steel ball bearings, oil-air lubrication, air or oil jacket cooling system.

While Built-in Spindle is working in machining center, the tool is changed by ATC(Automatic Tool Changer) automatically. However, impurities could be stacked in front of spindle because of chips formation while machining, and positional error between spindle and tool could be generated. Compressed air holes are necessary for removal of the impurities. But, the diameter and number of compressed air hole are different for each built-in spindle in market. In this paper, flow analysis is carried out to find out the efficient figuration of the compressed air hole by using velocity and pressure distributions.

In this study, a structural characteristics analysis system for motor-integrated high-speed spindle systems, “SpindleX”, is developed based on the Timoshenko theory and the multi-layered finite element method. Since “SpindleX” has the various analysis modules related to static deflection analysis, modal analysis, frequency response analysis, unbalance response analysis and so on, it is useful in performing systematically and quantitatively the design and evaluation processes of spindle system under the windows GUI environment. Also, to enhance the user-friendliness, “SpindleX” possesses the various additional functions such as the DXF file interface for auto-importing the shape and geometric data of spindle system from the DXF file, the bearing database for auto-importing the mechanical properties and geometric data of bearing by the bearing number, and the graphical visualization for certificating the imported and analysed data of spindle system.

The thermal deformation of a machine tool spindle influences the performance of the manufacturing systems for precision products. In this research, thermal analysis of a high speed machine tool spindle with the rolling bearing and the built-in motor is carried out by using Finite Difference Method. The thermal boundary conditions describing the heat generation in the bearing and built-in motor are considered in the simulation. And various convective boundary conditions are assumed with the empirical formula in the references. From the simulation results, the characteristics of each element affecting the dynamic thermal behaviour of the machine tool spindle system have been clarified. Therefore, this model can be well applied to the future development of the high speed spindle systems.

The important problem in the high speed spindles is to reduce and minimize the thermal effect by the motor and ball bearings. Thermal characteristics according to the bearing preload and hollow shaft cooling are studied for the spindle with the oil mist lubrication and high frequency motor. Temperature distribution and thermal deformation according to the spindle speed, preload and flow rate are measured by thermocouple and gap sensor. Temperature distribution and thermal deformation are analyzed by using the finite element method. The results of analysis are compared with the measured data. This paper show that the suitable preload and hollow shaft cooling are very effective to minimize the thermal effect by the motor and ball bearings. This study indicates that temperature distribution and thermal deformation of the high speed spindle system can be estimated reasonably by using the three dimensional model through the finite element method and supports thermal optimization and more effective cooling method.
