In order to examine spindle deformation characteristics that affects the performance of dynmic cutting acuracy due to tool weight variation in a experimental spindle. thermal deformation value of operrative spindle by the axial displacement and the radial run out was measured according to the rise of spindle temperature through the laps of operation time and the change of rotational speed under the tool weight variation. A qualitative summary is as follows ; 1) The results show that the tool weight affcets the spindle temperature variation in a experimental spindle. 2) Radial run out and axial displacement was measured according to the rise of the spindle temperature and the performance of dynamic cutting accuracy was affected by the tool weight variation. 3) Axial displacement is 1.3 times larger than the radial run out in a experimental spindle conditions. 4) Axial displacement is continuously elongated when the tool weight is repeatly exchanged since the spindle themal deformaion, however, when the same tool weight is used. the displacement is still constant.

In-process surface roughness prediction is studied in this research. To implement in-process prediction, spindle displacement is introduced. Machined surface's roughness is assumed to be expressed in terms of spindle displacement. In-process measurement of spindle displacement is conducted using CCDS (cylindrical capacitive displacement sensor). Two prediction models are developed. One is simple linear model between measured surface roughness and values by spindle displacement. The other is multiple regression model including machining parameters like spindle speed, fee rate and radial depth of cut. Relation between machined surface roughness and roughness by spindle displacement are verified.

Cutting force is important to understand cutting process in milling. To measure cutting force, tool dynamometer is widely used but it is hard to apply in workshop condition. Cutting force measurement which doesn't affect cutting process is needed. Using relations between cutting force and spindle displacement, cutting force can be predicted. Cylindrical capacitive sensor was used to measure spindle displacement during cutting. And signals from tool dynamometer collected to compare with spindle displacement. The result shows spindle displacement has a linear relation with cutting force. Using this result, a simple method to predict cutting force could be applied at workshop condition.

At present many research projects on high-speed spindles are being conducted. These projects require a measurement technique which includes heat expansion, vibration and displacement measurement according to angular velocity. This paper presents the development of a measurement system for high-speed spindle displacement. The measurement system is based on $LabView^{(R)}$ and features the following sensors: optical sensor which reacts to the position of a marker on the spindle and enables two Laser Displacement Sensors(LDS). These Laser Displacement Sensors send their data to a DAQ(Data Acquisition Device). It is important that the delay time caused by the response times of the sensors as well as the sampling rate of the DAQ is considered because the spindle revolves at very high speeds.

In spindle-bearing system, the displacement characteristics of the bearing by the load applied on the spindle are affected greatly by the assembling tolerance between the spindle and housing assembled to support the bearing. Also in spindle system of rotational operation, the compliance characteristic of the bearing is expected to be varied frequently by the thermal deformation of the spindle and the housing. To predict the thermal deformation of the spindle including heat generation of the bearing, we need to examine the effect on the compliance of spindle-bearing system by the assembling tolerance. In this paper, we proposed the load-displacement relation expression considering the effect which the variation of contact pressure due to the radial directional assembling tolerance between the bearing and the housing influences on the axial and radial directional displacement characteristics of the bearing. Furthermore, for several assembling systems of bearings and housings having all different assembling tolerances, we proposed a method to predict exactly the variation of the bearing preload which is sensitive to the thermal deformation by showing the propriety with experimental results.

A reliable tool wear monitoring technique is the one of important aspects for achieving an integrated and self-adjusting manufacturing system. In this paper, a tool wear estimation approach for turning is proposed. This approach uses the model of cutting force, spindle displacement and their relation. A series of experiments were conducted by designing experimental techniques to determine the relationship between flank wear and cutting force coefficient as well as cutting parameters such as cutting speed, depth of cut and feed. The proposed model performance has shown that the spindle displacement model predicts tool wear with high accuracy and spindle displacement signal is possible to replace cutting force signal.

Thermal displacement of high speed spindle is very important problem to be solved. To solve heat generation and thermal displacement problems that influence on the product accuracy, it is very important to predict thermal characteristics of the spindle and it is positively necessary to select the conditions of cooling, flow rate and preload of bearings. In this paper, 30,000rpm($1.455{\times}10^6DmN$) spindle was designed and produced. The analysis of thermal deformation for heat generation of inner spindle was carried out using commercial program $ANSYS^{(R)}$ and the result was compared with measured data using $LabVIEW^{(R)}$ and SGXI-1600, 1125 and 1126 module. Temperature distribution and thermal displacement according to spindle speed are measured. Using this method, it is possible to predict and to improve thermal characteristic of high speed spindle by control spindle speed, bearing preload and cooling rate.

This paper presents an estimation procedure for axial displacement in spindle equipped with angular contact ball bearings due to rotational speed. High-speed spindle-bearing system experiences axial displacement due to thermal expansion and rotational speed-dependent characteristics of angular contact ball bearings. This paper deals with the axial displacement caused by the rotational speed-dependent effects such as centrifugal force and gyroscopic moments. To this end, a bearing dynamic model is established that includes all the static and dynamic properties of angular contact ball bearing. An analytical formula to calculate the axial displacement based on contact angles between ball and races is derived to discuss the physics regarding the axial displacement in spindle. The proposed dynamic model is compared with a reference and a commercial program. Numerical examples are presented to show the effects of centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment on the axial displacement. The proposed model is also validated with an experimental result.

A cylindrical capacitance-type spindle displacement sensor was designed and tested in the hard turning as a way to develop a sensor that can estimate cutting forces without using a tool dynamometer. The displacement sensor was installed between the face of spindle cover and the chucking element, and measured pure radial motion of the spindle. Ceramic inserts and tool steel workpieceof 65 Rc were used during the hard turning tests. The signals from the sensor showed the same pattern of cutting force variations as those from the tool dynamometer. The research results showed that the developed sensor could be utilized as an effective and cheap on-line sensing device to estimate cutting forces.
