Error analysis of target trajectory tracking applied for measurement of high speed spindle

Abstract

The measurement of spindle radial error motion is achieved based on target trajectory tracking (TTT). Error analysis of TTT method is performed in this paper. Target trajectory doesn’t contain information about axial error motion. The tilt error motion is included in the target trajectory. However, the tilt error motion is small enough to be ignored. The roundness error of the target trajectory is assessed to obtain the radial error motion of the spindle. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method can be applied to measure the radial error motion of a high-speed spindle having a maximum rotational speed of 6000r/m.
