Multi-function and miniaturization of the medical equipment and tele-communication systems need small and high precision machined parts. For the economic machining of the small size workpiece it should be machined by small and high precision machine tools with high speed machining. The belt type driving system in turning lathe has a limitation of spindle speeds because of the vibrations from driving mechanism, built-in type of driving mechanism is used to reduce the vibration. However, the main spindle of the built-in motor is connected directly to the motor, so the heat generation of the motor and bearing makes bad influence of the accuracy of machine tools. In this study, the analysis of heat generation from motor and bearings supporting main spindle and experiment were carried out. The results of theoretical simulation of temperature and deformation of the main spindle are good agreement with those of measured.

A main vibration source in HDD is arisen from high rotating disk/spindle, and vibration suppression of the disk-spindle system becomes a critical issue and a major concern for high performance of the drive. In this paper, we study the feasibility of suppressing unwanted vibration of disk-spindle system of the HDD by external shock and excitation utilizing piezoelectric shunt damping methodology. By considering dynamic characteristics of the disk-spindle system through modal analysis, a target vibration mode is determined and then the piezoelectric material is carefully integrated to the modified drive. In order to maximize improvement of vibration characteristics of the proposed system, shunt circuit is optimally designed via tuning processes. Finally, the vibration characteristics of the high rotating disk-spindle system of the proposed drive is experimentally evaluated in frequency domain.

This paper presents the thermal characteristics analysis of a high-speed HMC spindle system with angular contact ball bearings, built-in motor, oil-jet lubrication method, oil jacket cooling method, and so on. 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, heat flow and thermal deformation under the various testing conditions related to material of bearing ball, spindle speed and coolant temperature.

This paper introduces that the turning center optimizes main and sub spindle's synchronized controller in Open-CNC. In view of optimal design, the mathematical modeling and the frequency domain analysis of spindle's system are simulated. For the minimizing of synchronized error in each spindle's speed, the study of control method and the related control parameter is proposed. By the experiment in prototype machines using the server/client program, the validity of the proposed synchronous error's compensation method is verified.

High cutting speeds and feeds are essential requirements of a machine tool structure to accomplish its basic function which is to produce a workpiece of the required geometric form with an acceptable surface finish at as high a rate of production as is economically possible. Since the bearings in high speed spindle units are the main heat source of the total cutting system, in this work, the thermal characteristics of the spindle bearing system with a tilting axis were investigated using finite element methods to improve the performance of the spindle bearing system. Based on the theoretical results, a specially designed prototype spindle bearing system has been manufactured. Using the manufactured spindle bearing system, the thermal characteristics were measured. From the comparison of the experimental results with the theoretical ones, it was found that the finite element method predicted well the thermal characteristics of the spindle bearing system.

For evaluation of rotational accuracy performance of high speed machine tool spindle system, the characteristics of main spindle and tool motion behavior are presented by means of three point accuracy testing method. The results of experiments and analyses are as follows: (1) The high speed spindle rotational accuracy can be evaluated by the combination of the spindle and tool motion behavior. (2) The spindle motion behavior increases up to more that 4 times the tool motion behavior. (3) For the influence of oil viscosity on spindle and tool taper application, 32 cSt of oil viscosity showed the most satisfactory result for rotational accuracy. (4) In order to improve the rotational accuracy of high speed machine tool spindle system, it is needed to reduce the combination error. This can be achieved by improving the working accuracy and supplying the proper lubrication with contact area at the spindle and tool.

High speed machining has become the main issue of metal cutting. Due to increase of the rotational speed of the spindle, problems, such as the run-out errors, reduced stiffness, must be overcome to improve the machining accuracy. In order to solve the problems, it is important to determine the appropriate clamping unit and tooling system. This paper presents an investigation into an evaluation of contact interval which is the interface between spindle taper hole and tool holder shank of the spindle. Finite element analysis is performed by using a commercial code ANSYS according to variation of clamping forces and rotational speeds. This paper proposed fit tolerance in order to evaluate the effects of clamping force and rotational speed on the contact interval in the spindle interface. From the finite element results, it has been shown that the rotational speed rather than clamping force mostly influence on the variation of the contact interval.
