    A changing temperature causes undesirable geometrical deformation of machine components. This article shows a design-oriented method to influence the thermal behaviour of machines. Using isolating material enables to direct the flow of heat. The results of an experiment, conducted on a machine tool spindle with a liner of zirconium oxide, illustrate the effects of thermal isolation.

    Part 1: Structure of the catalogue and spindle-bearing system. The present state of research in the field of thermal behaviour of machine tools has been documented by the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of the Technical University Aachen, the Research Centre for Machine Tools Chemnitz and the Institute for Machine Tools and Manufacturing Technology (IWF) of the Technical University Berlin. Measures for improving the machine tool design were documented in a catalogue, which consists of the parts basics, spindle-bearing system, frame components, drive system, measuring systems, and compensation. These parts will be introduced by the participants in three articles in this magazine. In the following article the structure of the catalogue and the spindle-bearing system are discussed.
