Optimization Design on Headstock of Shape High-Speed Vertical Machining Center

Optimization design was a technology that searched and determined the optimal design. Parametric model of headstock was established in Pro/E, and the parametric model was imported into the ANSYS Workbench. Then multi-objective optimization design was carried out in DesignXplorer module based on test technology, response surface that the combinations of design variables aimed at the objective function was obtained, the situation which design variables changes impacted on performance parameters from the response surface was viewed, a relatively ideal optimal design result was chosen. The mass of improved headstock was reduced, under the condition that performance in all aspects was not diminished.
