Development of an Intelligent and Energy Efficient Spindle System

Narrendar.R.C, Indira Kumar.S, Tilak

Spindle system plays a very important role in CNC and milling machines; but the foremost disadvantage over these machines are - they dissipate lots of energy which affects the overall efficiency and accuracy of the process. On identifying the various causes for the energy dissipation - major factors like improper speed control and imperfections in design may cause pulsation and thermal inertia that may impart a great amount of disturbance in the system. This paper emphasis on a framework in the development of a smart spindle system innate with cutting edge Mechatronics system that aims for its intelligent and dynamic control. The proposed system is equipped with sensory feedback to understand the environmental variations and spindling processes it also has an on-board control system, intelligent enough to control the machining process effectively and efficiently.
