Abstract
The use of magnetic bearing spindle to machine thin rib components, such as microwave guides, provides the capability to minimize tool path errors along with the benefits of high speed machining. Tool path errors, defined as the distance-difference between the required and actual tool path, can be controlled using the unique features of magnetic bearing spindle. This paper deals with the control and interfacing issues involved in retrofitting a vertical machining center with an S2M-B25/500 magnetic spindle. The resulting facility, one of a kind in the United States, has been successfully tested by generating [i.e., cutting] a surface whose profile follows a control input signal.
