The Heart of Machine Tools: Controlling Spindle Quality
Is your machine tool's spindle in good condition? The spindle is the heart of the machine tool, so controlling the quality of the spindle is of utmost importance.
VMS®-PM Mechanical Dynamic Analyzer can measure the vibration quality, dynamic balance, and resonance in the spindle's operating speed range for various types of spindles (including direct-drive, gear-driven, belt-driven, and internal spindles) in real time and display the results on-site.
Feature Description
Manufacturing Tool Machine Component Quality Control
In addition to the inspection quality of the machine tool itself, the installation environment, speed of the moving structure, and the rotation speeds of various components will also affect processing quality.
VMS®-PM Mechanical Dynamic Analyzer can control other key components such as: pulleys, gearboxes, transmission machinery, the movement quality of various axes, and structural analysis of the machine body.
It can instantly measure and analyze the movement quality of single-axis, three-axis, five-axis machines, multi-axial moving structures, rotating tables, and more. The results can be immediately determined and used as a standard research and development tool for tool machine design.

Application Scope
Suitable for quality measurement of various processing machines
Spindle Quality Inspection
Includes direct-drive, gear, belt, and internal spindles. Use vibration signals from the non-rotating parts of the rotor machinery to evaluate the rotor.
Spindle Motor End
Many power sources in the equipment are transmitted through motor rotors, so the health of the motor rotor equipment is closely related to the health of the machine equipment.
Gearbox and Other Composite Mechanisms
To know if the equipment efficiency is good, you must first understand whether transmission devices like gears are working correctly, allowing energy to be transmitted smoothly to the equipment.
Screw and Other Driving Mechanisms
During movement, rotation, reciprocation, or stopping, certain vibrations occur. Evaluating vibration changes helps assess the manufacturing process.

Spindle Balancing Management: ISO 1940
Spindle vibration imbalance can easily cause tool wear or accuracy errors. Since spindles and tools are often expensive, when spindle tool anomalies occur, they can further increase product defect rates and losses. Most rotating equipment and rotor machines undergo regular balancing calibration to avoid excessive vibrations caused by imbalance, which can lead to mechanical damage.
Spindle and Resonance Frequency Relationship
If rotating equipment exhibits resonance speeds, parameters should be set to avoid operating in the resonance frequency range, which can affect the spindle efficiency. The structure of a machining machine is composed of different components, and the natural frequencies caused by each component will influence each other, resulting in resonance problems that affect the spindle's operation and lifespan. Identifying the resonance range and avoiding inappropriate operating speeds will help prevent resonance.
Dynamic Signal Recording and Difference Monitoring During Workpiece Processing
VMS®-PM Mechanical Dynamic Analyzer can record and monitor the dynamic signal cycle during each workpiece's processing. Identical workpieces and tools will generate similar dynamic signals.
If there are any abnormalities in the workpiece or tool, the program will detect significant differences in similarity and alert the user to check for anomalies in the workpiece or tool, preventing the production of defective products in the batch and saving time and cost on defective items.
