Paper Details

The spindle holds and drives the various cutting tools. It is a shaft, mounted on bearings supported by thecolumn. The spindle is driven by an electric motor through a train of gears, all mounted within the column. In projectdescribes the result of action and industrial tests conducted in order to decrease the dimensions as well as weight ofmilling machine spindle. Due to this weight and dimension reduction, whole design of machine becomes feasible. Inearlier days there design of milling machine spindle was became very bulky due to this lot of investment we have to did.But due to redesign we have to optimize that problem and make one feasible design which reduces its dimensions andalso weight as well as cost. On the other hand, computer simulation and design in Engineering has tremendous advancesin the last few decades, due to the availability of powerful Finite Element Method (FEM). The use of Finite ElementAnalysis (FEA) for industrial applications is well accepted for more than four decades. Spindle is the main part used fortransmission of speed for some distance and also uses that motion for removing unwanted material for carried outmilling operation. Due to this that spindle always in rotating motion for that we have to calculate the stress at which thatspindle runs at infinite cycle. Here we preferred finite element analysis for Fatigue failure. Above mentioned problemsare planned for rectified by using re-design and optimization of dimensions and also check feasibility of our new designby using experimental and analytical method and compare both the designs and specification and give optimal solution.
