This paper presents the thermal characteristics analysis of a high-speed motor-separated spindle system consisted of angular contact ball bearings and built-in motor with oil-jet lubrication. The spindle system is composed of the main spindle and sub-spindle which are mechanically connected by a flexible coupling. The spindles are supported by two front and rear bearings, and the built-in motor is located between the front and rear bearings of the sub-spindle. The thermal analysis model of spindle system is constructed by the finite element method, and the thermal characteristics in the design stage are estimated based on temperature distribution and heat flow under the various testing conditions related to material of bearing ball, spindle speed and coolant temperature.

This paper presents a method of detecting localized defects on tapered roller bearing in main spindle of machine tool system. The statistical parameters in time-domain processing technique have been calculated to extract useful features from bearing vibration signals. These features are used by the input feature of an artificial neural network to detect and diagnose bearing defects. As a results, the detection of bearing defect conditions could be successfully performed by using an artificial neural network with statistical parameters of acceleration signals.

A multi-tasking machine tool for large scale marine engine crankshafts has been developed together with design technologies for its special devices. Since work pieces, that is, crankshafts to be machined are big and heavy; weight of over 100 tons, length of 10 m long, and diameter of over 3.5 m, several special purpose core devices are necessarily developed such as PTD (Pin Turning Device) for machining eccentric pin parts, face place and steady rest for chucking and resting heavy work pieces. PTD is a unique special purpose device of open-and-close ring typed structure equipped with revolving ring spindle for machining eccentric pins apart from journal. In order to achieve high rigidity of the machine tool, structural design optimization using TMSA (Taguch Method based Sequential Algorithm) has been completed with FEM structural analysis, and a hydrostatic bearing system for the PTD has been developed with theoretical hydrostatic analysis.

This paper compared with field weakening operation methods for the spindle motor of machine tool in which high speed drive is required. The maximum torque field weakening algorithm ensures the full utilization of the output torque capability of the machine over 1/Wr method. From simulation, the validity of the Max_Te method is confirmed. It is verified that the Max-Te algorithm provided the improved torque capability over 1/Wr method. So, It is applicable to provide high performance control involving fast acceleration and precise speed control for the adjustable speed drive system of spindle.

The spindle with a built-in motor can be used to simplify the structure of machine tool system, while the rotor has unbalance mass inevitably. A high-speed spindle can be very sensitive to rotating mass unbalance which has harmful effect on many machine tools. Therefore, the balancing procedure to reduce vibration in rotating system is certainly needed for all high-speed spindles. So, it was performed with a spindle-bearing system for CNC automatic lathe by using numerical procedure. The spindle is supported by the angular contact ball bearings and the motor rotor is fixed at the middle of spindle. The spindle-bearing system has been investigated using combined methodologies of finite elements and transfer matrices. The balancing was performed through influence coefficient method and the comparison was made by whirl responses between before balancing and after balancing. As a result, balancing of simple spindle model reduced whirl orbit magnitude in case of a completely assembled spindle model.

Real-time monitoring and control of the cutting force is essential for unmanned cutting process. Although the cutting force can be measured directly using tool dynamometers, their implementation is not feasible in industry due to high cost. Alternative approach is the cutting force estimation based on spindle drive models, but it requires the knowledge of their characteristics with the spindle speed variation. This paper investigates the power-factor and frictional characteristics of three-phase induction motors and determines its characteristics below and above the base speed, respectively. In order to realize the proposed cutting force monitoring system, a stand-alone DSP board was utilized. Its monitoring and control performance is evaluated in a CNC lathe.

In general, the radial error motion of a machine tool spindle system is effected on the accuracy of the parts to be made. This paper presents in milling process an investigation into spindle rotational accuracy effects on surface roughness of processing parts. We experimented the effects on spindle rotational accuracy in milling process by cutting AL 7075 workpiece at various rotational speed. In order to analyze the effects of rotational accuracy on surface roughness, we proposed the method using iSIGHT's RBF Approximation. The proposed method can be used fur anticipating the surface roughness when some spindle rotational accuracy experiments could be done in milling process.

Micro Drills have found ever wider application. However micro drilling is a machining to integrate the difficult machinablities such as tool stiffness, position control and revolution accuracy, and is known to cost and time consuming. So, this study aimed to practice ultraminiature drilling(0.05 .phi. ) wiht simple component, if possible. System is developed as the three modules : feed drives, spindle and monitoring part. The dynamics of measured current signals from the spindle of Micro Hole Drilling machine are investigated to establish the criteria of stepfeed mechanism. Cutting experiments identify the relationship of spindle rpm, feed rate and tool life. The smaller drill diameter is, the more suitable cutting condition have to be selected because of chip packing.

Unsteady-state temperature distributions for spindle system with built-in motor according to spindle type are studied. For the analysis, three dimensional model is built considering heat transfer characteristics such as natural and forced convection coefficients. Temperature distributions are analyzed by using the finite element method. Results of analysis are compared.

This paper described the current status of machine tool technology and its future trends with a particular emphasis on high-speed machining. People in machine tool industry have continuously sought to serve fast-changing manufacturing industry with economical machining solutins. At presents, it appears that more productivity gain is demanded to shorten time-to-market and machining requirements become more stringent. In this regard, this paper firstly addressed a high-speed spindle as a key element for the next-generation machine tools. The sequel to it apparently went to high-speed feed axes and final discussion included the problem of how to optimize overall system including servo function. Lastly a brief look to NC technology including machine intelligence was taken.
