As a core component of precision CNC machine tool, spindle's thermal characteristics affect the machining accuracy of the machine tool. In order to understand the influence of temperature increase on the deformation of the spindle system, the simulation model of the spindle system is established by determining and calculating heat sources and boundary conditions of the spindle system. The finite element analysis method is used to obtain the distribution of steady state temperature field and the condition of thermal deformation. The results of analysis provide the foundation for improvement and optimization of the vertical machining center.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
