This study focuses on the driving control design of an index, which is a key component of a rotary transfer machine that is effective in improving productivity and reducing manufacturing costs by shortening cycle time. Although various index studies have been conducted on the rotation of workpieces such as general-purpose machine tools and tilting indices, the development of an index for rotary transfer machines for transfer is insufficient. The index consists of a body, table, hydraulic cylinder, motor, reducer, and curved coupling. The torque of the table for driving was selected, and the angular velocity and torque pattern were simulated using the motor manufacturer's program. The specifications of the drive motor were determined based on the selected torque.

The large volume multi-tasking vertical lathe was developed for machining the bearing parts for a wind power generator. Although the machined part is large in size high precision tolerances are required recently. One of the most important components to achieve this mission is the rotating table which holds and supports the part to be machined. The oil hydrostatic bearing is adopted for the thrust bearing and the rolling bearing for the radial bearing. In this article experimental performance evaluation and its analysis results are presented. The rotational accuracy of the table is assessed and the frequency domain analysis for the structural loop is performed. And in order to evaluate the structural characteristic of table the moment load experiment is performed. The rotational error motion is measured as below 10 ${\mu}m$ for the radial and axial direction and 22,800 Nm/arcsec of moment stiffness is achieved for the rotary table.

Wind power, which is one of the promising renewable energies, has shown the high growth rate of 35 % of the annual average in the recent 5 years and also windmill related equipment market has been fast-growing. Yaw & Pitch bearing are the key parts of windmill and are machined by huge vertical lathe which is monopolized by the advanced countries. The purpose of this study is to develop the multi-tasking vertical lathe for 5 MW grade windmill bearings, which might be mass produced 3 or 5 years later. In this study, the structure of the crossrail and rotary table, which are the key units of the huge multi-tasking vertical lathe, were optimized through the finite element analysis. Also the basic performance of the rotary table has been evaluated.

This study focuses on demonstrating the effectiveness of vibration control of tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) for reducing the bidirectional and torsional response of the irregular asymmetric structure with voided slabs under earthquake excitations. The TRMD arranged in plane of one-story eccentric structure is proposed as a distributed tuned rotary mass damper (DTRMD) system. Lagrange's equation is used to derive the equations of motion of the controlled system. The optimum position and number of TRMD are numerically investigated under harmonic excitation and the control effects of different distributions are discussed. Furthermore, a shaking table test is conducted under different excitation cases, including free vibration, forced vibration and seismic wave to investigate the absorption performance of the device. The numerical simulations of different distributions of the TRMDs show that the DTRMDs are more effective in reduction of the displacement response of the asymmetric structure under the same mass ratio, even when the degree of eccentricity becomes large. However, with small degree of eccentricity, the unreasonable asymmetrical arrangement may cause the increase of the peak value of the rotational angular displacement. Finally, the experimental investigations exhibit similar results of translational displacement of the structure. It is concluded that the vibration of the irregular asymmetric structure can be controlled more economically and effectively by reducing the mass ratio through reducing the quantity of TRMDs at the high stiffness end.

In this paper, thermal stabilization design of a new concept compact machining center has been investigated. A new concept machining center adopted a new X-axis as a NC rotary table. A New concept compact machining center is designed that spindle speed, feed rate and NC Rotary table speed are 12,000rpm, 60m/min and 110rpm each. The analysis is carried out by using FEM simulation Solidworks, CATIA and ANSYS. This paper is focused on the thermal deformation according to temperature distribution of a spindle system and feed drive system. Heat transfer analysis is performed according to heat source and atmosphere contact parts. As a result, this compact machining center is designed as a thermally stable structure.

In order to process more complicated and higher-precision parts, generally, an additional axis for a machine tool is needed which was an approach to minimize the cost of tool modification. A table with a rotary reducer that can rotate through the axis of the gear system was employed to a machine tool to achieve the purpose of adding an extra motion axis. In general, the motion of the rotary reducer is driven by a worm/wheel or helical gear system, which is different from the hypoid helical gear structure that used in this research. Reliability of guarantee of high accurancy throughout the whole life cycle is on of the critical factors to evaluate a rotary reducer in this field. In this paper, in order to evaluate life-time of rotary reducer, a low-cost accelerated life test was developed to satisfy the demands of clients.
