Abstract
In this paper, the master axis method of machine tool spindle measurement is described. This method allows spindle measurements to be carried out at speed and under load. For example, a radial load representing the cutting force in a turning operation can be conveniently applied during characterization of a lathe spindle. The synchronous and asynchronous error motions have been observed to vary in both magnitude and shape with changes in load. Test results from both static and dynamic loads during testing are shown to demonstrate the utility of the method.
