Abstract

-The headstock and column are important part of VMC (Vertical Machining Centre), however there are many
designing parameters which may influence rigidity and weight of headstock and column, so to find the designing parameters
the designing of the part is a very important task. For this work, the 3D CAD model for the base line and the optimized
design has been created by using commercial 3D modeling software CREO, and after that we will go for static structural
analysis of the components, from this analysis we will find out the weakest point of the component and further we will work
on to enhance that part. There are different methods to increase the rigidity of the components by introducing ribs or making
hollow component and filling it will aluminum foam or we change the material of column by doing this we can increase the
rigidity as well as optimize the weight of the component.
