Abstract

The thermal expansion in spindles of computer numeric control (CNC) machines is widespread phenomenon around the world. Thermal change affects the positioning accuracy, repeatability, run out and backlash of the entire machining center. This thermal change in spindle is related with factors like speed and heat. The heat generated during running and machining of work-piece generates considerable amount of heat. This heat further elongates spindle and reduce the performance of spindle and degrade entire efficiency of system. In order to enhance the performance, it is mandatory to dissipate heat at much faster rate than heat generated during machine running and machining. In this paper, thermal equilibrium of spindle front bearing (that is at the nose of spindle) is stabilized up to maximum extent i.e. near to the negligible level. Initially, the spindle stabilized with continuous running at different speed and quenching of spindle by rotating hydraulic oil that will be quenched naturally around the periphery of spindle. Next, hydraulic oil is used for quenching by the circulation of water around the oil reservoir. This removes heat at faster rate. After stabilization of spindle, its impact on the horizontal, vertical and axial plane has been investigated. Finally, analytical investigations have been carried out to prove the validity of spindle stabilization process.
