Spindle Pro

The SpindlePro is a specially designed program for design and analysis of spindle systems. It has two submodules:

Expert Spindle Design System (ESDS):

This module is used for the initial design of spindles. ESDS is based on the efficient utilization of past design experience, the laws of machine design, dynamics and metal cutting mechanics.

The expert system leads to automatic generation of spindle configuration which includes drive shaft, motor type and size, transmission mechanism between the motor and shaft, bearing types and tool holder style. The bearing locations are optimized under the constraints of chatter vibration free cutting conditions.

ESDS has the following features:

Spindle Analysis Module (SPINDLEPRO):

This module is a finite element software that is used for performance analysis and optimization of the spindles. It allows to analyze the static and dynamic response of machine tool spindles.

The rotating effects from both spindle shaft and bearings are considered in the model. Timoshenko beam theory is used in the FE model, which includes axial, bending and torsional behavior of the spindle system. The nonlinear bearing model is used to include effects due to preloads and spindle speeds.

SPINDLEPRO has the following features:
