3D modelling of angular spindle’s head for machining centre

Abstract

Abstract The unified design of the angular spindle head of the machining centre for drilling-milling and boring type is considered. Three-dimensional modeling of the angular head assembly in CAD KOMPAS-3D is performed using a specialized application “Shafts and 3D mechanical transmissions” including a three-dimensional representation of the machining centre kinematic scheme. The photorealistic visualization module Artisan Rendering, which is integrated into the KOMPAS-3D CAD contour, was used to create presentations and promote this construction to the machine tool industry. A two-stage procedure for analyzing the structure by the stiffness criterion is proposed: at the early stages of the design by the matrix initial parameters method; at the stage of the working project by the finite element method in the APM FEM module. The procedure for determining the stress-strain state of the angular head spindle with end mills realized.
