Monitor System Design for Machine Electric Spindle Based on MCGS

This article introduces some principal parameters, which are required to be monitored, of machine electric spindle, hardware components of the system and main functions of configuration software MCGS(Monitor and Control Generated System) in China. The system is a set of online monitoring and analysis system that is designed for machine electric spindle. The system analyzes real-time information acquired from the vibration of machine electric spindle, the rotational speed, the motor, the temperature between front and back bearing, the axial displacement and relative parameters. It can provide information for workers who are not familiar with spindle to recognize spindle condition or discover early fault information, thus it eliminates malfunction and avoids destructive accidents. It also can offer technical information, such as machine electric spindle optimum design and test.
