In this paper, the characterizing and modeling of the thermal growth of a motorized high speed spindle is reported. A motorized high speed spindle has more complicated dynamic, non-stationary and speed-dependent thermal characteristics than conventional spindles. The centrifugal force and thermal expansion occurring on the bearings and motor rotor change the thermal characteristics of the built-in motor, bearings and assembly joints. It was found that conventional static models using regression analysis and artificial neural network failed to give satisfactory model accuracy and robustness. An auto-regression dynamic thermal error model, that considers the temperature history and spindle-speed information, has been proposed and proved to improve the model accuracy. However, it was found that temperature-based thermal error models, that correlated thermal displacement of the rotating cutting tool to the temperature measurements on the spindle housing, were not robust. Many nonlinear and time-varying thermal sources, such as coolant jacket, motor air gap, motion joints and assembly interfaces influence thermal displacement. The relationship between temperature measurements and thermal displacements is highly nonlinear, time-varying and non-stationary. A new thermal model which correlates the spindle thermal growth to thermal displacements measured at some locations of the rotating spindle shaft has been proposed. It was found that the displacement-based thermal error model has much better accuracy and robustness than the temperature-based model. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
