Modal Analysis of Vertical Spindle Using on Fly-cutting Machine Tool with Transfer Matrix Method

This paper provides the transfer matrix method to analysis the natural frequency of the vertical spindle using on ultra-precision fly cutting machine tool. Several transfer matrix equations of the typical units of the spindle had been established when considering the effects of the gyroscopic torque as the rotor has a large inertial tensor. And then the natural frequencies and each modal shape of the spindle rotor system were calculated using the transfer matrix model. Also, the modal experimental test had been taken out. The theoretical results from the transfer matrix model are very close to the test results, and the accuracy and the effective of the model was proved.
