    The quality loss caused by tolerance of factors can be reduced when the nominal values of design-factors are carefully chosen. Therefore, the parametric optimization method is significant to an optimally define the Quality Loss cost (QLc). In this work, the Design Exploration (DE) and Taguchi Methods along with unforced Rotordynamic analysis have been used to find the optimal levels of factors affecting the QLc. Under definite constraints, the mathematical models are developed for an optimization problem and then utilized to develop Machine Motorized Spindle (MMS). In order to find the optimal levels of the factors, the sensitivities of factors on structural weight and First-Order-Nature-Frequency (FONF) has been analyzed using Response-Surface (RS) method, while the Taguchi method is used to find the QLc. The results found shown that there are significant enhancements in signal-to-noise ratio for structural weight and FONF. The QLc has been saved to about more than half-time by comparing to its initial values. The results also indicated that the proposed optimization approach is feasible and successful in improving dynamic characteristics and QLc saving for the MMS.

    A machine-tool structure optimization is an important technique that improves the machining efficiency and saves materials and the energy resource. In this work, dynamic design optimization method for Machine-Motorized-Spindle (MMS) subjected to a number of rotating unbalanced forces effects is presented. Linear forced-Rotordynamic analysis with design explorer method has been used to simulate the output response. The Design Variables (DVs) and their limits were carefully chosen and applied to develop the Design-of-Experiment (DOE). The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) method, because of its good organization in providing much information in a minor number of required statistical experiments was used to generate the DOE. The influences of DVs on the dynamic of MMS and their levels optimization were evaluated by utilizing the Response-Surface (RS) method. The results showed that the spindle shaft inner diameter of the motor-rotor seat and its rotating unbalanced mass, and modulus of elastici...
