This paper presents the application of iSight for optimal tip design of complex tool holder spindle. The complex tool holder is used for holding a (milling/drilling) tool of a machine tool. The engineering problem of complex tool holder results from the twisting of spindle of tool holder. This leads to the vibration of tool holder which makes the tool holder malfunction. This engineering proble...
