Course Description
 | Axes of Rotation |
Date: 27 May 2001
1 day(s)
English Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy
185,00 EURO None
This popular course has been successfully held by Jim Bryan on many occasions including prior to euspen`s Topical Conference in Copenhagen, 2000 and at several ASPE conferences.
After completion of the course, the delegate will understand and be able to explain the concepts and importance of axes of rotations in the design and testing of measuring machines, machine tools, hard disc drives and rotational machinery of all kinds.
course synposis:
1. Terminology for defining the behavior of spindles used in instruments, measuring machine tools and rotation equipment.
2. Available instruments for determining spindle performance.
3. Relationship of performance to roundness, flatness and surface finish.
4. Errors caused by generated heat.
5. Performance required for diamond turning to mirror finishes
6. Roundness errors caused by non-uniform sag of workpiece support fixtures in horizontal spindle machines.
course notes: Comprehensive notes will be supplied to guide delegates through the tutorial. These will also act as a useful working tool when the delegate returns to his place of work. For those unable to attend, many course notes are available after the event. Interested parties are advised to contact the euspen headquarters.(info@euspen.org.)
The tutorial has been classified at a basic level. It is targeted for machinists, technicians, graduate and post-graduate engineers and physicists.
