Get this newly released book by one of the world’s leading authorities on spindle performance and axis of rotation science.
Precision Spindle Metrology details the concepts of spindle metrology, how to make spindle measurements, and what those measurements mean for machine tool capability and resulting part quality.
Practical, Detailed, Useful
Precision Spindle Metrology provides detailed explanation of spindle measurement processes and data analysis techniques, then applies the processes in several case studies.
In this book, you will learn:
- Relationship of machine tool spindle performance to the roundness, flatness, and surface finish that can be achieved on your workpieces
- Importance of axis of rotation in the alignment of slideways and machine tool metrology in general
- Errors caused by heat generated within spindles
- Instrumentation available for measuring the various parameters of spindle performance including the Spindle Error Analyzer
- Data analysis techniques to extract the most information from your spindle performance measurements
- Spindle measurement pitfalls and how to avoid them.
