A criterion for the selection of spindle motor speeds in a hard disk drive (HDD) is investigated to guarantee stability and reduce nonrepeatable runout of a spining disk. Since the natural frequencies of the spining disk and the forced frequencies generated from the spindle motor depend on the rotating speed, careful consideration should be taken to avoid the resonance between the disk and motor. To do this, the natural frequencies of the spining disk are calculated and they are compared with the forced frequencies from the spindle motor.

A verification of multi-spindles drilling NC data is presented. The drilling of multi-spindles can offer productivity over three times as fast as that of single spindle. The most important things in machining tube sheet are precision of hole position and machining time. The drilling of multi-spindles has difficulties in controlling many motors to drive spindles and assign a correspondent number to each spindles. Multi-spindles drilling has different codes from CNC milling ; many subroutines, assignment of spindle, and so on. The conventional method, which inspects the NC code of the drilling, is to drill holes on a thin plate or tube sheet previously. The method results in low productivity because it consumed long machining time and welding for correction. This paper describes details of multi-spindles NC code and operation of multi-spindles drilling machine. A verification software of the multi-spindles drilling NC code is developed on the details.
