Measuring and optimisation of geometric accuracy of the machine

We measure geometric accuracy of horizontal boring mills manufactured by TOS Varnsdorf a.s. and RETOS VARNSDORF s.r.o. using a modern laser interferometer RENISHAW XL-80, in combination with measuring system for NC and CNC machines RENISHAW BALLBAR QC10.

Why?
• accurate and reliable machine is one of the basic building stones of first-rate manufacture
• poor-quality machine does not necessarily cause production of rejects – however has essential influence on
labour productivity
• there are various causes of occurrence of poor-quality products, apart from machine error – tool error,
mistake on the drawing, inconvenient technology, operator's fault, error in NC programme, etc. - the wider
the portfolio of potential causes is, the more difficult and longer is their analysis - it certainly is good to know
that the machine is not the cause of it

Area of application
• Laser XL-80 - CNC and also conventional machines
• Ballbar QC10 - CNC machines with possibility of circular interpolation

Measuring options
• straightness of movable groups guidance
• evaluation of mutual perpendicularities of movable groups
• evaluation of metering system errors and inaccuracies
• diagnostics of clearances in movable groups drives
• diagnostics of movable groups drives adjustment

Results of measuring
• expert opinion of technical condition of machine
• summary of results in clear charts and tables
• evaluation of results according to the ISO 230-2, VDI / DGQ 3441 and ČSN 200300 standards

Final status - target
• optimisation of geometric accuracy of basic machine hardware – balance, perpendicularity, limitation of
clearances
• optimisation of metering accuracy – linear and non-linear correction of metering systems
• machine dynamics optimisation – accuracy of machining, starting up to position
• elimination of machine hardware imperfection impact on accuracy of machining

The condition of measuring execution is functionality of the machine, machine readiness and measuring environment (cleanliness, stable temperature).
