Abstract

This paper presents a method of analysis for prediction of the static and dynamic behavior of machine tool spindle systems. A mathematical model is formulated by use of the finite difference technique, and a general purpose analog computer is utilized to solve the equations in the model. Specific application is illustrated through the study of an actual lathe spindle. In analyzing the spindle behavior, the influences of bearing stiffness, bearing position, damping and the presence of the workpiece are discussed. The use of this approach in the design process is illustrated by an optimizing redesign of the existing spindle.
